I know I've asked before, but I guage what's wrong with me partly by what's going around and I am a little cut off from others at the moment.  My friend with children says there's nasty bugs about but just wondered here.

Temperature, can't do a lot, nose twitching but no sneezing yet

. I have a cold now which started last Wednesday. I am at the regular sneeze stage now. Definitely not flu but I did have aching muscles at the start.

My family all had covid last week, all testing negative now and luckily I didn't get it this time.

I have been suffering from a dry cough for the past two weeks. It's not like the flu or a cold. I am totally fine; no body aches, no sneezing, no headache, nothing but this cough is disturbing me a lot. I have tried a lot of treatments, consulted the doctor, had syrup, and also tried some organic medicines, in our language they are called 'Kadha', as suggested by my grandmother. But still, I haven't seen any difference in my dry coughing.
Mainly, the coughing starts at night and disturbs my sleep every night. I have also tried honey; it gives relief for a few hours, but after that, the same situation arises. I don't know why this is stuck and not getting improved. I am facing this for the first time.

Ella - do U have reflux?  My irritating constant clearing-throat cough has been relieved by Omeprazolol taken at breakfast.

Interesting, hope you feel better soon Katejo. 

I just feel hot and listless, and a bit sniffly.  I was partly worried it was a tooth infection but I've cleared that, but that was the main reason for posting up.  Always worried something will turn to sepsis after I got cellulitis last year.

I think though it's viral.  A bit better today, covid test was negative but it only started yesterday, too soon to test

Glad you didn't get it this time Dierdre!

I'm wondering about covid as I've got the shivery legs and this has been a new thing for me ever since the pandemic started, and when we were able to test it was covid.  I'll test in a day or two as yesterday's was negative.

The new FLIRT variant apparently

Sorry to hear this Ella, I hope this resolves soon.  The only thing I can think of if you have no other sign of infection is whether you're having an allergic reaction, a temporary asthmatic thing?  Has anything changed with your bedding?  Different washing liquid or anything?  Or I wonder if it's hayfever, some people have talked about that being really bad lately.

I really hope you feel better soon.  I would suggest Thyme, but that is more for clearing congestion and it doesn't sound like that (there are recipes out there for use of Thyme to clear congestion, I can come back with one if need be)

that's interesting CLKD.  I get a lot of throat clearing but it's a family trait and it comes in spates, I've never considered this though.

[HellsBells]

There is some research to suggest that Thyme in some form helps a chronic cough.

When I had tamoxifen I had cold shivers for hours at a time.  An anti-oestrogen drug.

Think the test only works now when you're at your peak of the illness, suppose that means when you're feeling really ill, but if it's a mild case it probably won't show or just a faint line. My lot had various different symptoms with this new variant from feeling like flu, coughing etc and a couple describe it like a 5 day hangover with headache and fatigue. All had a temperature at some point.

Covid-19 is a SARS virus, like the common cold.
