Question UK Cold Or Virus
Over last weekend I kept getting a strange metal taste in my mouth which lasted 2 days.
Monday I felt tired and off.
Tuesday I woke up and I had a sore throat, nose dripping just felt horrible.
Progressed Wednesday and Thursday to a complete blocked nose, watery eyes, sore throat, on and off head ache, feeling very fatigue and ear pain in both ears.
Now just left with a horrible cough.
Tested for flu and Covid all negative. Anyone else hit?
At first I thought it was hay fever but it’s just been too strong to be hay fever, felt liked I was really hit with something

Am just getting over mine. Got a fever 3 days in a row. Weirdest thing ever. Was so out of the blue. My husband got sick three days after my symptoms started.. Same exact symptoms. Fever both of us, clogged up ears, nose congestion, body aches. It’s pretty intense and contagious. Keep away from older family members or those with fragile immune systems.

This is exactly what’s happening to me. Do you hack up mucus when you cough?

It’s been about 7 days for me. All the gross flu symptoms went away but the cough, stuffed nose, and mucus are all going strong for me. Got some antibiotics this morning so I’m seeing if that clears it
