How long for this horrible cold/flu to go away

I've been Ill for over three weeks now. Started as a cough and has gone to a cold and then just feeling blocked up and exhausted! I thought I had turned a corner but still so tired! Any hints tips to recover faster. I have never had a temperature, I think just blocked sinus pressure and a virus making me feel awful. Am a single parent who can't afford not to work! So no real time to rest x

I am in the same boat. Third week here and still really struggling. I’ve been taking echinacea but it doesn’t seem to be helping. Are you drinking enough water? Sometimes you end up a bit dehydrated which adds to the exhaustion. Surely we must turn a corner soon

@Kikifava I never get Ill. I'm over it! Just had to go to a work event and feel even worse now! Wishing you getting better very soon xxx

Every time I think I fell better I do something and it seems to set me way back. So hard as can’t really rest when a parent. Hoping we both feel much better tomorrow. X
