Sore throat still a problem

Well mine began with some really odd pain in my calf - i was worried about dvt but then it went to my other leg and spread. Thought was maybe pulled muscle so put hot water bottle on to ease it. Then my chest started to feel uncomfortable like a chest infection does. I then had a bit of a headache and my throat was really sore. Had temp 37.8 but only a short time as I started on paracetamol. Tested. Have really bad smell and taste and been really exhausted and disinterested. Now after just over a week am still not well with fatigue and not sleeping great but am definitely starting to feel better - I actually managed a shower and hair wash today and could actually taste a biscuit. Advice was paracetamol and ibuprofen, rest rest and more rest and alot of warm drinks and water also. Hope this helps. Everyone getting their own different symptoms, I didn't really develop a cough just felt I had to keep clearing my throat. Luckily I have had a mild dose clearly. X

No problem caitlin mine started around 6 weeks ago now on the Friday I was at work not feeling well at all finished the shift went home dehydrated headache and fatigue phoned in sick for the Sunday during the week got a bit breathlessness nothing heavy went back to work till 9th April told the lads I'm going home mostly the same symptoms but I had something going on in my nose as well anyways went to hospital on the Friday a and e very empty lucky enough for me i was hot and sticky otherwise I would have been sent home no cough or sore throat yet still got sent home after but told I had a viral infection had tests on my next visit which was last Tuesday because during all this time my symptoms changed just got told today that they are negative but my doctor told me 2 weeks ago because of the breathlessness headaches dehydration and sinus troubles it was covid and because of the length of time that it has been in my system not to worry about the swabs they may not be correct so to today I had a good night but popping still in my nose and little sugar still lurking in my throat Friday will be 7 weeks some viral infection have had stomach ache as well during about the 4th week headaches were bad 3 days thought my head was going to explode one morning now like everyone else I hope I'm coming to the end of this little sugar but I'm not holding my breath no pun intended hope that helps Gary

Hi Tara like most of the others on here I had a sore throat for about 10 weeks on and off due to the inflammation I feel have you had a sore throat for a while Gary

this I think is my 11 week of symptoms with main one being sore throat and tight neck feeling.

this week has been particularly bad.

is there anything you've been taking that can help?

Hi Tara have you been sweating at nights if not you could try lemon juice warm water with honey or gargle salt water most of the guys and girls are on page 69 and they will help you with the symptoms I have now not got a sore throat but tight chest and inflammation Gary
