anyone???
My husband. He's about over it now. Not sure what it was, and he just dealt with it, no anti biotics.
Try Vit C and Echinacea, both easy to get hold off :)
thanks x

anyone else?/
dont worry I recently had the flu...there is a lot of horrible things going round right now!
did you have swollen glands too?
You seem really excessively worried about the glands side of things. It means nothing sinister if your glands are up when you're ill - it's just a sign that your body is fighting something off. My glands go up when I have a mouth ulcer!
If it's a viral infection, then the antibiotics will do - pardon my French - absolutely bugger all, as they only fight bacterial infections. There are definitely multiple cold/flu type viruses around at the moment and they can be persistent. Plus I always think if you're stressed out your immune system doesn't fight things off as well as it should.

It is such a common thing... I actually went to a doctor on a few occasions in the past thinking that it was something more serious but the GPs kept saying it was a viral infection... What I found uncomfortable was that I was supposed to wait until it got better and there was no magic cure... I obviously felt tired as the body was fighting the infection... but every time I recovered from it, so just try and keep your head up, you'll get there :D

*Raises hand* Yep. I'm mostly over it now, I hope. Every time I thought I was on the mend, fever would kick back in and I'd feel back to square one. I'm much better than I was 2 weeks ago so fingers crossed I'm okay now.
At the start of it, I went to the GP and the glands in my neck swelled so it was really painful to move my head. So glad I was at the doc that day!
I hope you feel better soon :) I hate flu season with a passion!
