My husband had it first and was quite ill for over a week with bad cold and very sore throat and cough, he is very stoical so for him to sit around watching tv for a week means he was ill.
He then "kindly" passed it on to me. Started in head and nose then I thought I had shrugged it off then 4 days ago I got the worse sore throat ever and cough. I now have a very croaky voice and its painful in throat and upper chest to cough. My sinuses are bunged as well.
I always get really bad coughs and throats with any cold virus and in the past I usually rush off to Drs after a week to check I do not have a chest infection, because as soon as I start to feel the sore chest I panic.
Mostly they say my lungs are clear and the problem is all in throat/trachea and it gets better itself but sometimes I am given antibiotics in case which means I never really know if I needed them or not.
Its coming up to a weekend and I know that if I still feel like this I will panic but my husband is saying I do not have a chest infection ( he has had quite a few so knows what they are like, he has even had pneumonia) so I would feel bad about gong to the GP tomorrow if I don't really need to.
Any words of wisdom please?
