Poorly for Xmas! – Page 2 – Chat Forum – Singletrack World Magazine Forum

Anyone else had this as well? Finished work 22nd Dec afternoon and started feeling a bit under the weather. From then on til now it didn’t ruin Christmas but being ill wasn’t nice at all, alot of runny nose, phlegm, congestion, voice like lerch. 3 tissue boxes down. Far from ideal when we have a 15 month old that I’ve been drying desperately not to pass it onto, keeping alcohol gel with me whenever he will need picking up or playing with. Not to the nth degree but just keeping germs to a minimum just while I’m poorly. I eat a balanced diet however I’m rubbish at eating fruit on the regular so definitely going to sort that out in future, this was not fun! Still going with it, seems to have manifested with just Phlegm stuck in the throat now that cold and flu isn’t budging. Had no desire to be on the Buck’s Fizz or Baileys or Xmas drinks as know that what I should be carrying on with is hot honey and orange etc…

still got the cough I started with just before Christmas. It's not continuous, like an irritating tickling cough, but just every so often I have to cough really hard, maybe half dozen time a day, cough as hard as I can and can't stop it. Then it goes away and I'm alright for a few hours again.

Not the same illness, but just as I got over my Christmas cough I went down with Covid which left me with a bit of a cough again. Basically ok now but it hasn’t been a great start to the year.

Ouch I agree, Richard my symptoms are very similar. I can’t laugh without bursting into a coughing fit, and the ringing ear…. Is just so frustrating! Over 10 days now!
