:curse: I posted a couple of weeks ago about a horrible virus that caused worse cough I have had for many a year, my lungs were fine and Dr said antibiotics won't help and it can take some getting rid of. My friend also had it at same time so that was reassuring in comparing symptoms!
AFter about 12 days my cough got loads better, only coughing every few hours rather than every few minutes and I felt better in myself, my voice came back , same thing happened to friend and we both assumed that we would be okay in a few days. Wrong.
3 days later I felt like I was getting a cold, burning sensation up back of nose and then the cough came back but different, not coughing alot but it hurts to cough and voice is starting to go again. Loads of gunk in sinuses as well.
Spoke to my friend again today and she says she is feeling much worse as well and she is going back to Dr on Friday. She had a course of antibiotics when it first started as she is asthmatic but they did not help at all.
I know this virus is sweeping the country and just wondered if anyone on here has had it and did it last for weeks??
