Has anyone got these symptoms:-

very sore raspy throat but no cough, slight mucus
loss of voice sometimes
Bad sinus pain in head and sinuses
sneezing and runny nose
aching and feeling rubbish

had thought these were bad hayfever symptoms but appears bad cold or virus.

Tested twice for covid and not that.

Not sure if I should see doctor or just let it get better by itself if viral.

I've got slightly sore throat, throbbing head, sore sinuses and ears, cramping legs, back ache. It definitely came from dd's school as she had it earlier in the week. Unfortunately I have also got vomiting. I feel so crap

@PositiveLife - ah sounds similar! Hope you get better soon! I blame my nephew who I helped look after last weekend. He wasn’t sick per se but was off colour and complained a bit of sore throat etc. fine now! We were also in a kids playground, took him swimming etc. lots of germs!

I’ve recently been jabbed with a booster again though, last week?

I've been exactly the same for 2 weeks. Negative LFT, I've tested most days. Sick of it now. Can't get rid of this mucus my chest feels full of it.

Side effects from booster?
