Two days ago, I started to experience pain in my throat when I swallowed.. the next day I felt all the classic flu symptoms: sweats, weakness, body aches, throbbing headache and now excessive mucus secretion from my sinuses as well as sinus pain and congestion. For one day I was blowing very drippy mucus out of my nose every 4 or 5 minutes, consisting of 1) the brownish yellow mucus I have been coughing in the past, 2) plain white, thick mucus, and finally 3) never before seen peach-coloured mucus as well. Currently, mucus is not as excessive or drippy as it was for that one day.
I am really scared that this is a permanent thing. What concerns me most is this asthmatic component to my coughing. I need to use my puffer twice a day to avoid coughing fits and breathing difficulties. I haven’t been able to smell or taste my food fully for the past two months, even though my nose wasn’t always congested.
