• Anyone else feel like they have a sore throat that doesn't get really sore or worse, and a dry feeling chest with a slight cough that doesn't move into coughing fits or anything? Had a headache all day yesterday with slightly warm forehead too, but not really today.

    I don't know if just psychosomatic or just mild symptoms or even just a common cold...

  • Fever seems to be one of the main warning as colds normally don't cause a fever.

    6 weeks ago we got his by a sore throat with mild headache / weird guts / some coughing / feeling rundown for 2 weeks, but only my partner had a fever. All the other viral bugs are still happily mutating away I suppose :)

  • My girlfriend has had this for the last couple of weeks, doesn't seem like she can shake it

  • Had a very weird sore throat for ages which didn’t feel like a regular sore throat and the same dry, slightly tight chest with no persistent cough. I decided the sore throat was due to having to do so much more talking working from home and decided the chest was cos I’m not cycling 70-100 miles per week commute.

    No fever though.

  • It could just be anxiety, one common symptom is acid reflux which can make you feel like you've got a scratchy throat and tight chest, it'll also make you cough to try and clear it from time to time and tbh conditions are pretty anxiety inducing at the moment.
