scared of swine flu/normal flu/sinus infection

[Em.ma]

Hi, i have been suffering with pains in nose/forehead for 2 weeks. Is a sinus issue something that needs antio biotics. I have been feeling nauseus all week and nowt i have tickly feeling in throat like i want to cough but im not. scared my sinus issue may spread to my brain or my lungs will fail if i have flu :(
Also i burp a lot, constipation still and stomach pains along with nausea.

Hi Emma

I posted something about swine flu a few days ago - if you do a search under my name, you should find it. If you'd got swine flu, you'd be lying in your bed feeling too ill to move!!

Sinus infections are really common after cold viruses, but they can make you feel grotty.

You only tend to need antibiotics for it if you're in severe pain, or if you're getting loads of green or yellow infected discharge when you blow your nose (sorry, too much info!).

thank you made me feel better. Also ive been producing a lot of clear watery discharge for the last two days. its a lot to make my undies feel wet. i had a period two weeks ago. logically im thinking is this from ovulation or organ failure lol. i have a slight stomach ache to

Hi Em.ma. I wouldn't worry about the discharge. I have it too sometimes and normally after my period. I've had that for years and nothing bad has ever happened. It's only if it's discoloured and has an odour (too much info?) that you would have to go see your Dr and then it would something that could easily be treated. Love L

hi thanks. it does have a slight odor to it. :S

[Em.ma]

will it be ok to leave it till monday though lol

[Lisajf]

The odour im talking about would be really bad. The odour you're talking about is probably normal for us. But if you're really concerned just go see your Dr to put your mind at rest but DON'T GOOGLE it. I think in this case the dr would be more concerned if it was discoloured. Lx

thanks. i dont know how bad normal odour is though lol. ive always got a lot of funny smells from down there. it does smell quite bad but yet again i dont know bad is not good (tmi sorry lol)
do nurses deal with these sort of problems, as id proberly like to make an app. to see one instead of my doc. for this kind of issue.
