32 weeks pregnant - sore throat & cough for 4 weeks

I hardly ever pick up flu or bugs etc but a month ago my 3 year old son (who is in nursery) got a bad flu (fever, cough, unhappiness) & was ill for a week. I then caught it & was in agony with cough & sore throat for 2 weeks - most ill I can remember being. Also vague GI symptoms & exhaustion. I’m now 4 weeks later & improved but still have back of cough, feel like gasping for oxygen when walking & what’s worrying me is still very sore throat especially at night.

the strange thing is that the sore throat switches from one side to the other - for a few days when swallowing it’s one side & then it moves - has anyone had this or similar ?

i went to GP 2 weeks ago & they just said to rest up - but it’s still bothering me so much

Go back to the Gp
take paracetamol and also honey and lemon
id after two weeks you’re still feeling rubbish you may need antibiotics

are you taking anything for reflux? Might be worth a try if not.
