Hi everyone,
My daughter and I have both been fighting a viral infection been to the gp twice last week for daughter and I went to see the gp for myself this Monday.
We both initially had the following symptoms:
High fever-feeling very hot especially the ears like they are blocked and under pressure
Chills and body aches
No apetitie- daughter vomited the first day
Runny nose
Baring cough
Daughter has started eating again recently but she still has a runny nose passing out dark yellow mucus and the cough is still there.
I suffered from severe sharp cheek and headpains like electric shock going into my mouth gp said I have sinusitis due to nasal congestion. I still have a runny nose and a barking cough she is now making my centre chest hurt.
not only that i feel extremely tired and have no energy to do basic things. My appetite is close to zero hardly can eat anything as I feel so full, been burping, having abdominal cramps and smelly stools. There is a weird taste and smell of rusting metal and mucus in my mouth
Did a covid test which was negative. Gp says no need for antibiotics as this is a viral infection most likely flu. But I have had cold before a flu many years ago but this is horrendous I feel like absolute wreck and feeling really down from being ill for the past 8 days now. I am on the verge of just vomiting and my heart has been skipping and doing extra beats (ectopic beats)a lot more since I have been ill. This is so so bad. Anyone going through a similar thing?
