Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a virus that lives in the respiratory tract. This virus was first discovered in 2001, and has since become one of the causes of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs). HMPV is very similar to the RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) virus, which often infects children and can cause lung disease. ... the elderly, and those with lung or heart disease, are more susceptible to more serious infections.[...]

The following are symptoms commonly experienced by HMPV sufferers:

  1. Dry or phlegmy cough
    Cough is the main symptom of HMPV, it can be a dry or phlegmy cough. This condition can interfere with comfort and indicate an infection in the respiratory tract.
  1. Fever
    Fever is the body's reaction to an infection, such as HMPV. Mild to moderate fever is common with this infection, indicating the body's resistance to the virus that attacks the respiratory system.
  1. Stuffy or runny nose
    A stuffy or runny nose is common in HMPV infections, due to inflammation in the upper respiratory tract. This symptom causes discomfort, especially when breathing through the nose.
  1. Hard to breathe

Cough is very annoying.

I’ve had a terrible cold for three weeks. Just now getting better. No fever. Just a constant running nose and terrible cough. Nights are horrible.

Never had something last so long. Over a month and I still have the phlegmy cough. I had all of the symptoms and was sick for 2 weeks.

Just got over my chest cold. It might have been this virus, except it wasn’t hard to breathe. Just a dry cough with some phlegm, low grade fever, and body aches.

It took 2 weeks.

That sounds like what I have.

Three days prior to becoming sick I was in the Charlotte airport with all those travelers.

Probably got it there.

Niece came down with it twice. Hacking cough that kept her from sleeping. Both times diagnosed as pneumonia and given antibiotics. She thinks she got it twice from babysitting her granddaughter. I had a suggestion of how to fix that.

The first sign of anything like that and I break out the Mucinex DM - haven’t had anything serious despite undergoing chemo that nearly killed me and left my system in tatters...on the mend though....
