How to shift this virus ?

Been rough 10 days now but it's like a reverse cold. Started with the ticket throat and cough then got the cough but was a few days before the nose streaming and the binged up sinusitis feeling. Nausea and bad stomach followed and now just feel like my head is full of porridge and am not hungry and could sleep for England.
Anyone else ? Not ill enough to be off work but draggging myself through the day and have stayed at home to save others from the germs

Yes I've had this, but also upset tummy so have stayed off work. I feel like I need a rest as often drag myself in and end up feeling worse.

I’ve had/still have something similar. I thought I was over it but just had a night of coughing. I found that after covid I needed to top up my iron, so I’m off to buy a good old fashioned tonic with iron. I’ve just come back from a week in the sun which helped but I had zero energy while I was there, as in couldn’t even walk u a hill without feeling exhausted.

I have had it 10 day now and it's horrible. I look like shit too. Really pale and like a creased paper bag somehow !
Iron supplement sounds good - which did you get ? I'm not unwell enough to be off sick but am tempted to take a long weekend using annual leave and just to sleep.

@Totallybannanas I had upset tummy too at weekend. Proper cramps and horrid poo. It's a nasty one

I got Floridix (spelling?) which I think doesn’t taste too bad. I can’t take iron tablets, they do terrible things to my digestion, but liquid tonics seem OK.
