I know I'm usually telling folks to calm down and get help for their anxiety so please bear with me! Anyway I think I have a cold. My throat started hurting Wednesday night, and yesterday I started with the runny/stuffy nose, sneezing, etc. I had so much drainage that I even vomited once before I went to bed last night. This morning I woke up, felt a bit feverish, and took my temp and it was 99.5. I'm taking Tylenol because I hate the side effects of cold meds. Anyway when that wears off my temp goes back to 99.5. THE reason I worry when I do actually get sick is because I have had C Diff three times so I am absolutely terrified that I may possibly have to take an antibiotic. I know colds are viral, so no need for antibiotics. I just haven't been this sick in awhile. I actually feel a bit better today, other than the slight fever. Is it common for a cold to cause a low grade fever?? My doctor has told me that most respiratory infections are viral but that C Diff scarred me for life and the anxiety is up today! Ugh! Thanks to anyone for replying!
