Question:
I have strange symptoms... could it be the flu? Mono?
It started with a bad headache that wouldn't go away for days and then I woke up one morning shivering because I had a really high temperature. This is the third day that I've been having fevers and the weird thing is that they are not stable at all. Once I took my temperature and it lowered .5 points, then I checked it again and it shot back up .4 points within a minute. The highest that I've gotten so far (that I'm aware of) is 102.7~ but it will be high like that sometimes and 98.6 other times.
I also have one swollen lymph node (on the right) and the right side of my neck is sore and swollen. I've been sleeping a LOT also, but when I'm awake I get weird energetic surges. I get nauseous at times, but it's very sudden and lastes maybe twenty minutes, and I've vomited once already.
And the temperatures changing so dramatically affect me... one minute I'll be hot and the next I'm freezing. I do have an apetite.
What could this be symptoms of? Suggestions?
Answers:
Influenza is a respiratory disease. You don't mention any respiratory symptoms, so we can rule that out.
Swollen lymph nodes indicate infection. Elevated temperature (anything over 101) indicates your body is attempting to combat infection by raising your temperature to kill the microbes.
This is not something that can be diagnosed over Yahoo Answers. You must be evaluated and diagnosed by a physician. There are many many different things this could be.
