Help! It hurts to swallow! What can I do?

[PinkLongJohns]

It hurts to swallow, so I'm not eating but my tummy is growling!

My nose is blocked and I can't smell anything either.

Sore head and very tired too.

What's wrong with me?

Sounds like Covid

Try some soup, or at the very least- water to keep your fluids up.

Covid?

Flu? Cold? Sinus infection?

If anyone in my house gets a cold or flu I always end up with laryngitis and the most painful sore throat ever

I use salt water gargle, nose rinses, numbing throat sprays, blocked nose sprays, every painkiller I can get my hands on and wear a Face mask just to keep warm humid air around my nose and mouth

I always feel like this tonsillitis is on the way

Could be a few things

-Covid

• any other virus
• hayfever

Take some Sudafed if you have it, that will help with the blocked nose and pain. Lots of fluids and if your throat is too sore, you can try the numbing throat spray. Have you got anyone who can do a chemist/supermarket trip to pic you up supplies?

Have you got any ice cream in the freezer, that could be soothing.
