• My partner had 3 days of fever, up to 38.5. but he has asthma and a more sensitive throat, he'd had some proper infections a few years back that needed antibiotics. He had to take his reliever inhaler too, definitely kicked off his asthma.

    I ended up with the same symptoms (sore throat / stuffed ears / 3 trees gone in used up tissues / can't smell or taste, little appetite, feeling physically weak) 3 days after him, but no fever.

    Felt pretty lousy for 5 days, brain fog, having to sleep a lot...

    I rather have had it over and done with, but that must just have been a cold, right? One that definitely wants to up its game, normally I shift them in 3-5 days, this one took 9.

    (we did quarantine just in case it was covid)

  • IANAD, but if you felt lousy for five days, were having to sleep a lot, and it took you nine days to shift... surely nobody would call that a cold?!

    N.b. anecdotally having to sleep a lot is something people who've had it have reported quite often.
