Hi, I recently caught something that has made me very ill the last week or so. My symptoms are a list full...severe sore throat,nasuea,ear aches,cough,a head cold, and extreme fatigue. Ive tried theraflu,dayquil,cough drops...every thing that could possibly cover all my sypmtoms but still nothing. I go through a bottle of medicine in a day and a half. I have 2 small kids so unfortantely i cant take anything that will put me to sleep. Is there anything out there than can help me get some relief?
Thanks for the advice...but to add to it now..I think my son has gotten it from me again with the sore throat, I can only hope and pray that my 7 month old isnt getting it..he just is now starting to act normal from his head cold he was battleing!
You need to go to the doctor to rule out anything severe. If it's been this bad for so long, you should stop self-medicating and go see a professional. You might need penicillin or something to knock it out.
Take care of yourself, and if you can find someone to help you so you can rest or go to the doc, take them up on it.
sounds like you have the flu they were talking about on th enews... Said the doctor's offices are full! Not much they r doing about it...said it lasts about 10 days. Good Luck! just said to bed rest drink fluids etc...
my whole family has had this mess also! the kids are slowly getting better but me and my husband had to go get an antibiotic shot.. we've still got drainage and stuffy noses but we're alot better than before the shot! hope you get to feeling better.. you'll be in my prayers!
The only thing that I can think of would be to dose up on vitamin C. It won't help all your symptoms but maybe it will help you kick it faster than otherwise. I think you can talk a few 1000 mg tablets a day. I hope you get to feeling better.
I'm not much help but i can sympathize. I've had the exact same thing for 5 days now. I'm going to the dr. tomorrow b/c i've tried everything too. The one thing that made it a little better was dayquil. I also agree with the other mom about the vitamin C. I've always been told that it helps. Of course i just never think of it when I'M sick.LOL:) Hope this helps and hope you're better soon!!
