My husband has been ill for 10 days with virus that gives you bad throat bad cough and terrible aches. He is now on the mend but coughing like a dog. He did get antibiotics as a precaution with his lungs but they didn't help at all so it was obviously all viral.
I started two days ago and went to Dr this morning to make sure my lungs were okay and he listened and said they were crystal clear - I have a sore chest when I cough and deep breathe and very bunged up with pains around eyes - temp 36.6 but as I am normally lower than this its us a bit for me but worst thing today is I ache horribly - legs arms neck and am now worrying its meningitis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dr said the change in weather has triggered this virus and its countrywide and people are going down like flies with it - he said some are getting chest infections but others get better on their own.
he gave me a presc for antibiotic but said don't get it unless you start to cough up nasty stuff and really can't breathe as the antibiotics are useless against the virus.
Anyone eles out there with it and please someone calm me down about my menigitis fears:blush:
