I'm feeling much better today, just slightly congested and no scratchy throat. I had symptoms Monday night. Tuesday and Wednesday were light congestion, heavier congestion on Thursday and Friday. Fortunately, no cough just a head cold. If I hadn't known it was covid, I wouldn't have thought it was that bad. I was much sicker last fall when I had those two colds in September and October. This time, I think the anxiety was the worst part!
Dh is still battling it, he has a nasty cough. He didn't get tested, but he had symptoms before me, so I'm sure I got it from him. He seems to have a worse case than me, but thankfully, just a cold. Crossing my fingers we are on the mend!
Decongestant helped me the most, and cough medicine for dh. Also, lots of rest, fluids and healthy eating. I did up my Vitamin D and take some zinc, figured it couldn't hurt!
Katie, thanks for the well wishes. Fortunately, the heaviness in my chest and throat lasted only a short time on Thursday afternoon, and I had no problems breathing or swallowing. That's what motivated me to test. I did take some ibuprofen, maybe that helped to relieve it.
