Many say symptoms are lasting longer
Health experts have explained why a hacking cough is spreading across the UK. As winter continues, so does the spread of sniffles and coughs.
Professor Kamila Hawthorne, chairwoman of the Royal College of GPs, explained that infections have been spreading for longer than usual. She added that most of the public have reduced their resistance to infections after socially isolating for two winters. Many people have not been able to heat their homes amid the cost of living crisis, which will also be contributing to the rise in illness, says the expert.
"And we’ve also had infections such as Strep A, with lots of people coming to us who were coughing but also had sore throats – mainly children, but a lot of adults as well. Covid affects people in lots of different ways – some can get scarring of their lungs and fibrosis, which can cause a long-term cough.
“But sometimes these things need treatment, sometimes they need looking into, and sometimes you pick up people who’ve got perhaps underlying asthma or COPD , because they get wheezy, they get breathless, they get tight-chested.
