colds and sore throat

[Swalton514]

I am 72 diagnosed with CLL in 2022 and am on monitor and wait. I am careful about unlimited social contact but am close to my grandchildren. They bring home all kinds of things from school and 2 x a year : once in fall and then again in spring I contact head cold with Cough , conjestion and sore throat. Historically I would expect these to last 7-10 days but now can take 3-4 weeks for my body to get back to normal . I would appreciate hearing from others how to better manage

Thanks Steve

Same, no longer just a cold! I just try to be patient.
