My brother's wife is also an ESL teacher. She had multiple students who traveled home to Wuhan during the winter break. Shortly after school starting she came down with a cold, gave it to my brother, and he had a pretty bad cough for a month. He's just now getting over it.
- pmlnr 7y agoLast winter in Cambridge, UK, both me and my wife went through something labelled the Queen's Cough. In theory, that was an adenovirus: apart from the brutal cough that got worse if you rested and layed down, it regularly resulted in inner ear inflammation. We suffered from it for nearly a month, we had to take mild tranquilizers - valerian extract - to fall asleep, only to get up coughing for 10-20 mins non stop in tge middle of the night. There are loads of nasty chest infections out there.
- LyndsySimon 7y ago> the Queen's Cough I wonder if that name is derived from "the King's Evil". The King's Evil was scrofula, which is basically infected/inflamed lymph nodes cause by tuberculosis.
- learc83 7y agoYes, obviously.
