The Lurgy


Sorry to say I haven’t been posting much recently. Both my wife and I went down with flu/cold query chest infection, query covid.

Suffice to say that I am pretty much over it but my wife still has the lingering cough.

My wife’s coughing became so violent that we had to resort to the NHS 111 service. Thankfully it worked as it should and within a couple of hours my wife had a face to face appointment. 

Oddly, when the medic listened to my wife’s chest, she said there was no congestion in the lungs. Therefore, no chest infection. No infection meant no antibiotics. Just carry on with the paracetamol, hot honey/lemon drinks, and grab an antiseptic throat spray.

Well, it’s a couple of weeks now. The cough frequency has diminished, but it is still lingering on.

Seems to be the way of things now, these cold/flu things just won’t let go.

  1. Coughing so bad we sound like we are about to vomit isn’t pleasant, that was me last night, I hope she is starting to feel better, I am bad of a morning and bad in the evening but fine during the day this is due to the weather being cold as morning and night and nice during the middle of the day.
