Sore throat, then congestion: Common Covid symptoms follow a pattern now, doctors say

30. That's what's so frustrating

I think I am having some fall allergies as well, confounding everything.

I rarely get sick, and what's more, I never get sick in the summer, during the warm months. This came on fast and hard so I assume it was something quite infectious - like a new COVID variant or RSV - to hit me that hard.

I am still having issues with crud in the back of my throat, three weeks later. Not much of a cough, but a little. All of these symptoms are unusual for me and a normal cold.

I've always tested negative every time I've taken a COVID test but I'll bet I've had it at least once.
