What really helps you recover?

It seems I can't shake this illness - I had a virus not long ago, I felt better, now cough and fatigue are back. No high fever, only that strong feeling as if your body will climb in the mud. The pain tablets and cold medicines help a short time but nothing difficult.
Do you go to a clinic to get checked or just tough it out at home?

Went through something like that few months back, thought it was gone then hit me again with cough and no energy. Turned out it was lingering infection not just simple cold. Clinic check helped rule out pneumonia and they gave stronger meds than over the counter stuff. Sometimes it’s just slow recovery but sometimes body needs extra help.

How long has yours been dragging on?

I was over it and then the cough and exhaustion came back even worse. I tried resting, vitamins, and every over the counter syrup but it kept dragging. Finally went to a clinic, they said it might’ve turned into a chest infection and gave me stronger meds that actually helped. Sometimes pushing through at home just makes it last longer.
Did you notice any shortness of breath or chest heaviness with it?
