Dh and I have had it almost a month but are much better now. We had sore throats for over a week and kept expecting a cold to develop but then the cough came and lasted 3 weeks.

I don't know if it was the same thing, but I have had something more than a cold, but not as bad as flu. Same symptoms, and really unpleasant. I could just about function for around 2 weeks.

Has anyone had / got this, started about 18th of this month with sore throat and just can't seem to shift awful cough and stuffed up nose and head ( feels like I am swimming under water) wake up with mouth like the bottom of a bird cage. Have been taking paracetamol etc but does anyone know how long it lasts
