Hi everyone, Just wondered how you all doing after your flu jab? I had mine on 1st of Nov and I have never been so ill as I am now! I have never been so full of cold like this .My nose won't stop running , I have a sore throat my ears sound like I am under water and I now getting a chesty cough!
I been like this for days now and fed up of feeling so unwell.
Anyone else the same as me? It's very unusual for me to be so bad after a flu jab.It making me think wather to bother again.
I'm sorry to hear that you are so unwell after your flu jab. Myself and my husband had ours on Wednesday and up until now we both have had a sore arm, but no other problems. I wonder if you have caught a cold, and it's nothing to do with your jab. There is a nasty cold doing the rounds at the moment, and apparently the cough could last for weeks. Maybe you should speak to your GP if your cough is getting worse. However, he probably won't prescribe any thing and will just tell you to take Paracetamols and plenty of warm drinks. Hope you feel better soon.
I had my Flu jab a few weeks ago but was ok but there are so many bugs going around you might of picked one up x
It's been 6 days and I am still very unwell.Maybe I had the bug before flu jab and by having both it bought it all out.I have read on Internet that it takes 2 weeks for flu jab to kick in and protect you.Looks like it too late for me I am sick of being like this now..😫🤒🤒
6 days aww bless im not suprised your sick of being that way sometimes I say I'm sick of being sick dosnt help but I smile at it xx
Sending you warm hugs. I hope you get well soon love Dawn 🤗😍
my husband was also very unwell with flu-like symptoms a couple of days after the jab. He took his rescue pack eventually but was unwell for a couple of weeks. Thankfully he is fine now again.
we have both had flu shots with no real reaction although my wife’s arm was sore for a day or two where she had the shot.
I have emphysema and got a chest infection a week after a flu jab while suffering with a cold. Just a cold. On PubMed I found an article that said you are MORE LIKELY to get a chest infection after a flu jab. I haven't had one in 4 or 5 years now. Eat healthily, take vitamins C. D, and zinc, and you will probably, imo, be doing yourself more good.
