ALTHOUGH + CLAUSE
Although + person+ verb.... -correct, but

although can be followed by a common noun or a proper noun, as well:

Although the weather was bad, he went swimming.

Although John was sick, he went to school that day.
Although I was there trying to be of help, I couldn`t do anything to solve the problem


The correct answer to the poll is :
Despite feeling sick, she continued working.
