The week of Christmas I had the same thing. Lasted about 12 days and ended up calling my doctor to get put on antibiotics. Seemed to maybe be strep which I seem to get more and more frequently the past 5 years

It took 3 days of this before I tested for positive Covid.

Yes. Pretty much what you described plus some itchy eyes and occasional stomach issues for the past few days.

I'm just thinking I've been feeling that (eyes itchy too). I am almost certain its hypochondriac paranoia because I keep reading about the E. Pal derailment.

I've heard of so many folks with this exact same thing...granted it's anecdotal, but interesting how prevalent it is and how exact the symptoms seem to be.

Yeah, second this. I know a lot of my friends had strep recently. Same symptoms as you’re describing.

I’ve been feeling the same. Nurse friends said to get tested for strep, I just haven’t had a chance to yet.

Same here! Light cold at first turned into this crud. At 2 weeks, I went to the doctor because I developed a cough. Doc said my entire left sinus and half of my right were occluded with infection. I’m now on antibiotics, which have helped immensely! My husband made it 2.5 weeks, got better and then got worse suddenly so he’s also on antibiotics now.

Yep. It tracks like every cold I've ever had as an adult, but it's still annoying and unpleasant.

Same. I hoped beyond hope it wasn't the 'Rona, and I've thankfully tested negative, but I was doubly pissed that I picked up a dumb cold after being bug-free for two years.
Guess it was going to be a humdinger to get through all the defenses and precautions.

I'm on day 7 today, feeling like I need to blow my nose (nothing left in there, though) and phlegm-y in my throat. Blech.

I am just getting over this bullshit as well. It kicked my ass pretty bad.

12+ days. That is how long it took for me to finally not need to blow my nose nonstop all day after having the same thing. Started like a light cold, then moved into sinus infection for like 10 days. Just finally giving up and having some drinks during the Super Bowl seems to have knocked it out of me.

Current variants of Covid are not always showing up on rapid tests until about day 5+ of symptoms. I would try and get a PCR test if you can, or take serial rapid tests over the next few days swabbing your nose, then throat.

Get tested for strep. Same symptoms and was positive for it today. Nurse said they are seeing large numbers of strep in adults.

That’s how we all started. How it ended: 5 of us with sinus infections and 1 with ear infection. Every person who caught it so far ended with an infection… it’s a nasty cold going around. Take care and I hope you feel better soon!

It is! The doc I went to said that this stuff is all that they’re seeing right now. I figure that if they’re noticing the trend, then it’s definitely pretty prevalent.
