Sorry to hear you are suffering like this. Not sure whether this has any relevance but I started getting a very runny nose on such a regular basis that it prompted me to record dates. Every six days I couldn’t leave the house as it just wouldn’t stop. I did not feel ill but looked a mess. I now get prescribed Flixanase and it works brilliantly. Similar issues with other bio drugs.
I was going to have this but as I already have gut problems they decided against it. If it was me I'd report this.
thanks, I have had antivirals prescribed for the cold sores so will see how the week goes 🤞
