Hi everyone, basically im crying and i can't stop. Im absolutely petrified that im getting a virus or the flu or somehting. Today and yesterday ive felt abit iffy but then today ive developed this sore throat on the right side of my throat and pressure in my head a bit of a stuffy right nostrol and pressure in my ears. Ive spent time at work with a boy with a cold and a lady with the flu, but the most time ive spent with was the boy with the cold. Im so scared that i have no immune system and that it will kill me, ive been really run down and ive been eating no vegetables, meats anything healthy basically and its petrifying me. Do you think the flu or a virus could kill me? Im 17 but im petrified i have no immune system ive been eating unhealthily for about a few months now. Also do you think this is jhust a normal cold? Im really scared please help, i know im going to die.. im considering writing a goodbye note to my family because im that convinced please help me! :'( xxxx

Don't worry, you might have a cold but you will be fine. Ear infections can make you feel dizzy even if your ears don't hurt, and they can be caused by a cold. Or your neck might just be sore because you were bent over for a long time. I think my neck would hurt the next day if I bent over the bath for an hour :) If you keep feeling dizzy, you may want to be checked for an ear infection, but I don't think you have anything seriously wrong.

Sounds to me like ure coming down with a bad cold . It will not harm u but u may feel like u do for up to a week . Dose ureself up with lemsips or nurofen .and keep warm and u will be fine . Please try not to worry . Lots of people at the moment have got colds and ure immune system is fine and will still work to fight the cold . Take care x

You can't reduce your immune system just because you don't eat properly.

I am immunosuppressed (with drugs) and I haven't died of a cold so you will be fine!

There is no reason at all to believe you will die from a cold.

We all get colds. I don't think there is a single person your age who has never had a cold. It's just one of these things at this time of year. It won't harm you in any way.

Try some steam inhailations with either vicks or olbis oil as it's really goodn for decongestion. Paracetamol for any aches and pains and warm drinks for a sore throat.

Nothing bad will happen to you.

Take care

thankyou SO much everyone i really appreciate your help in my hour of need :) relaxed abit more now thankyou :)

Although the main thing i was worried about is dying from the flu.. i hope i don't have it :/ thanks again, ! xxxx

If you had no immune system you would have been dead years ago. Colds and flu are nothing to worry about at your age, it is only the elderly or very ill who may get problems.

You just have a cold, even if you do get flu you won't die. Don't worry, you'll be fine x

Don't worry hun. About the hair dye thing -I did something similar earlier this year.. was ages washing it out! Your neck will hurt because you've strained the muscles in it, it'll soon get better. You may have gotten some water in your ears which may have affected how you feel in terms of dizziness.
I know how it is to be run down, but it doesn't mean you have no immune system! Like someone said, eating unhealthily won't take away your immune system, your body is more efficient than you think. And 17 is a good, physically strong age! Try to have a chill and not worry. If you have a cold just rest and drink hot drinks. Take a daily multivitamin if you're run down. You'll be okay. God bless.
