Mums got a heavy cold.

I'm currently away visiting my brother-in-law with hubby. He is currently in hospital so my anxiety and stress levels are pretty high. But today my mum told me she has a very cold, stuffy nose, watery eyes, and a slight cough. Her breathing was a little off last night but nothing to bad. She did have a phone from doctor who advised her not to take her emergency pack just now but to wait a few days and see how it goes. You know what I'm like I worry and I stress and get anxious! Just want some reassurance if any can be given. Sorry my posts are few and far between.

Much love to you all.

huge amount of virus going around , like a cold , chest . Do a covid grat on her to make sure . G P told me this chest virus can take 4-6 weeks to clear . I feel fine , but clear phlegm still not gone After antibots . 3 weeks. Give her hot drinks . Get an oxygen finger pulse meter to check her. Blood oxygen always normal if breathless . Stranknh helos chest . It’s a weird mild but lingering virus .
