Anyone got this cold/sickness bug combo thing?

I was sure it was just a bad cold until the nausia and upset tummy started. I also have all the classic cold symptoms. Started last week with super swollen glands and now got a screaming cold and feeling sick all the time. Have taken to LF tests and apparently it's not covid. Havent been able to or wanted to eat anything for nearly 2 days. Anyone else got similar?

I had this last week and it was awful!! Hope you feel better soon

@zigazigahhhh yeah not fun is it. Was your like a combo of cold and sickness? I can't stop sneezing and am bunged up but also feel sick. No fun during my little ones 18 month sleep regression honestly 😅

Exactly that! And the sorest throat and swollen glands. I wasn't actually sick but the nausea was awful. Then after 4/5 days it pretty much disappeared 🤞🏼

Oh my god both my kids have had this, one last week and one currently. My DS started with nausea/lack of appetite and was actually sick one of the days and ended up dehydrated but also had a really snotty nose and lingering cough.
My DD started with it on Monday with sore head and throat, by Tues lost appetite and complaining of sore belly and feeling like throwing up but hasn't. No temperatures with either of them. She now has a cough and snotty nose and lack of energy and still sore tummy. For my DS it lasted a full week.

My son also had it last week. Took a full week for symptoms to go

Am on day 10 of debilitating heavy cold symptoms with bad tummy - legs full of lead, head full of concrete, coughing, sneezing, nose blowing. Every day think I must start getting better tomorrow. Nope, same every day. Exhausted with it/from it. Am used to colds that have one bad day then minor symptoms dwindling over a few days. This feels like it could last forever (tested negative for Covid).

@swimsong same as us we are day 9 of all having the worst upset tummy and cold symptoms. Not had an appetite either.
