Constant cold!!

I'm absolutely sick of this 😭. For about 5 weeks I've done nothing but sneeze, cough, sniff etc. My eyes are red, puffy and scaly and my nose is peeling and my lips are so dry 😭😭😭. My chest has also been so tight and I've been wheezing a lot (mild asthma). The worst is I can't sleep and breathe through my mouth so when my nose is blocked I can't sleep!

Nothing seems to help. I suspected a dust allergy as I've previously had bad bouts like this when deep cleaning a room and can get quite congested if I wear something from the cupboard I've not had on for a while etc but I've tried different anti histamines and nothing seems to work!

I had covid about 5 weeks ago where the main symptom was a bad cold - could it be related??

My work is suffering as I feel so miserable, and I think my colleagues are getting sick of my coughing, sneezing, spluttering and
groaning all the time 🙈

Has anyone been through similar? I'm so sick of if - I want to rip off my nose!!

Sounds horrible. Sorry your goin through this. I have got my first cold since covid last March and forgot how it felt to be ill.

Its more the not being able to breath through nose without setting your throat off!

Maybe go docs, but I am just goin to chill, take high vit c, and hope it goes soon

I had covid 5 weeks ago and was ill with symptoms for a month. Now the symptoms have returned, utterly sick of it and like you my eyes are streaming, itchy. Ears are sore and itchy, no sense of smell or taste, except salt. It's an odd one.

I've had this too. I had summer allergies followed by pneumonia and now cold / allergy symptoms for weeks. It's exhausting!

Sorry no advice but your not alone.

Sorry you're all going through similar 😢. I'm not sure what the doctor would suggest/do - just feel so fed up of a leaky nose and sore chest from sneezing
