1984@lemmy.today 1 week agoYeah I did. I had a pretty strong flu, but felt the same as other years flu. I was in bed for maybe 4 days feeling awful. Then it was over.
But one thing ive noticed after covid is that colds seems to take a lot longer for the body to fight. Its like they are taking place in slow motion. I can have a week of feeling like im getting a cold before I actually get one now. Do you have that?

I can’t say I’ve noticed. I’ve had a bad cold and one particularly bad throat infection that took months to resolve since, but run-of-the-mill colds seem the same to me.

Yeah I read alot about those lingering sympthoms, they are very mysterius… What did you get more specifically?

I had a peritonsillar abscess and it took a long time to heal up even after the antibiotics. The doctor was proposing that I have my tonsils removed but I decided to wait and see. Supposedly this is a rare complication that can develop after a bad sore throat. I’m really careful about sore throats now.

Yeah first time i hear about it, but appearently 1 in 10000 people get it… Good thing it didnt grow so big it was causing more issues.
Ive been lucky so far with my health, but I will probably run into weird things too at some point.
