Anyone else have this weird Virus?

[Lovemusic82]

Started with a head ache for 5 days then started with a dry throat, slight temp and now a cough, but no runny or bunged up nose so not your average cold. I don’t feel really unwell but the dry cough is horrible and almost makes me sick at times. I’ve tested twice for covid as I had a couple tests at home but both were negative so guessing some other kind of virus. Anyone else had/have similar? How long does it last? Did anything help with the dry tickly throat?

Here's a thread from recent days:-

Yep had it twice in quick succession!

I've had a cough for going on 2 weeks now with bouts of overheating but don't think I've had a temp. Toddler had a temp, cough and cold bug a couple of weeks ago but me and husband just seem to have a had a cough. More likely than not that it's the same virus. My cough is horrendous and feels like it's getting worse not better. I'm so fed up with it!
