Ask for paracetamol tablets NOT capsules.
Capsules of any drug can stick in your throat and start dissolving there.
Another way is to chase them with a bite to eat like an apple, to make them go down

I've got another one now! Got over the last one which I think was viral - then the day before yesterday I was caught in a rainstorm in town (it was freezing/icy anyway) and am now full of it again! Coughing and spluttering, sneezing, hot and cold etc. Blergh!

I have to agree with what was said earlier this page re. tablets >> capsules. Capsules definitely are more liable to get stuck in your throat and generally they just don’t go down as well.

I had a bit of something last week but I’m mostly over it now. Thanks to CBD, Ibuprofen and greens.

Yeah, I've had plenty times where I almost felt like I had a chemical burn in my throat from a capsule getting stuck there, it's horrendous.

I was going on a very long time without anything but my partner brought covid home from work and of course I caught it. I was in a bad way until yesterday evening with the weakness, sore throat and congestion. I have a bit more energy now but still needing naps and the congestion is still at an uncomfortable level.

Well all the way over here in Canada I too have had Covid for the past three days. 2nd time around... it is as unfun as it was the first time.

It was my second time too and hit me way worse than the first. Hope you are feeling better too.

The baby was very unsettled at bed time and then woke up at 11pm last night with a very uncomfortable stuffy nose, we're both having the same symptoms now. We always end up being sick at the same time which is exhausting.

…yeah, you will be exhausted if you’re not feeling at your best and neither is he, you’re obviously very in tune with each other…I hope that it’s a fleeting virus and passes through quickly ……I think that we just don’t have such great immune as we did pre-covid because of being so isolated…

It's hard because I'm constantly worried about him catching an illness because I know I'll catch it too. If I was well then it wouldn't be so hard to nurse him back to health. I hope it passes quickly too, we've only got about three weeks to prepare for a big first birthday bonanza! Covid definitely gave my immune system a knock, I had it when o was pregnant and I was bedridden for about two weeks, horrible illness.
