Comment from: Paluki, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: December 13

I began with a sore throat, then extreme blocked nose, painful sinus and painful teeth, a persistent cough, wheezing and temperature. The coughing was so prevalent and violent that I had to hold my chest tight in my arms to cough. After 24 hours of antibiotic I felt better although it is now five days and I am still coughing up phlegm and dealing with nasal discharge.

My son was just diagnosed. He is five and the symptoms came on overnight and were very similar to an asthma attack that would not go away.

Very sore throat, swollen glands, tiredness and very sore chest as if I had been running in very cold weather, together with pain and tightness in the breastbone.

I think I've run the whole gamut of symptoms: difficulty taking a deep breath, slight fever, headache, persistent cough, extreme fatigue. It all started with a sinus infection and head cold over a month ago. I've been feeling much better after going to the doctor last week.
