Yes throats really hurts too. It feels raw.
Also alternating between hot & cold. The aching seems to be on it's way out.
So fed up with lemsip.
My husband has still got a wonky thermostat and he is 2 weeks on with this virus. His cough etc is better than mine but he is still not well.
I saw the GP today because I have got mild earache as well as throbbing sinusesm no voice and the cough
and wanted to make sure I didn't have either chest or ear infection for the weekend! Dr was standing in for one of the partners who is off sick with same virus and the waiting room was full of people coughing!
He said its a very nasty virus and takes weeks to get over ( cheerful soul). My lungs are fine but ear and throat red but he thinks its all viral so no need for antibiotics at present. HE said my voicebox would be red raw as well hence the sqeeky bit of voice I have.
He was interesting as he said whenever we get big changes in weather temp like we have been having past weeks then a really nasty virus appears without fail and he said its throughout the whole country.
