It sounds like you've been attacked by a real nasty virus, don't be so hard on yourself and listen to your body, rest and lots of fluids! Masks, sanitizers and lockdown may have lessened being infected with Covid but it compromised our immune systems.
I'm sure the onion & honey remedy will help. But...I also swear by a cocktail of freshly crushed garlic and olive oil. Give one to your hubby as well otherwise he'll want to move to the spare room 😉
Hope you get better soon @livinguktaiwan 💞
I may try that tomorrow as I used up all the medicine at home, though the thought of downing olive oil doesn't sound very pleasant coz it lingers on the throat 😬
