[mumof2000]

Iv had a thick bad cold for almost 3 weeks , thought was getting better but returned , along with sore throat on left side , when i yawn i can feel it ,still got chesty cough although not coughing up so much gunk as before , any ideas , is throat just part of cold ?
i suffer with bad HA so worrying myself ...silly , i dont smoke ,drink very little .

i can swallow ok but feels sore at times .almost feels like i may have an ulcer on my throat ? kind of

Have you got a stuffy or runny nose? If so, it could be a "postnasal drip", meaning that catarghh is running down the back of the throat, so causing a sore throat. It would be worse in the morning because you have been lying down all night with the drip occuring all night.

Please try not to worry. It could all be part of the cold symptoms you have.

Are you feeling poorly, or the same? If you are feeling worse, then it's probably wise to visit the GP. Otherwise, it's mostlikely a long running horrid cold.

thanks , and yes have suffered with PNDrip before actually a few months before now and got some sprat for it , also had ears unblocked just before xmas as they were blocked bad , then after that my cold appeared ... and now like this .
I will give it some more time as am always at docs ..grrrr as HA takes over.
thank you for reply x

Oh and i feel fine in myself , just a bit feed up with having this cold, runny noise , etc .x

take some pseudofed and see if it will dry up the mucus. If you are a mouth breather as DS2 is at night,that will give you a sore throat too.

thanks alypaly , will get some , and i think i am a night breather as DH says im snoring alot .... makes a change from him ...
