I have the same thing and I have had it 2 times. Is your stomach hurting, if it is, you have a Stomach Virus. If you do, you need to drink water alot or else you will get very dehidrated. You should worry about this and you just need to drink water and never let the dehidration get to you. You need to eat healthy food and always be warm.
Um...the flu. And nausea from the levaquin.
you' re only freaking yourself out....think positively...and i really mean it
Sounds like bronchitus with a touch of asthma. Go to the doctor. He will give you cough syrup with codeine which will help with the wheezing. Upper respitory infection and they usually don't give antibiotics for it. Mine lasted 2.5 weeks. It sucks. Sleep, drink fluids, take the meds. What you are taking isn't enough...trust me. Chicken soup is good but the cream creates mucus...change soups.
From the symptoms you have, definitely, you have the flu. the flu is different from the common colds because of the seriousness of the symptoms, duration, fever and the generalized weakness, as well as the loss of appetite. .
The flu is a contagious virus that is spread from one person to another through tiny droplets that are released into the air when a person infected with the flu coughs or sneezes. Sometimes, people can become infected by touching their nose or mouth after touching something infected by the flu virus.
Most healthy adults can infect others one day before they begin experiencing symptoms and up to five days after they become sick. That means you can pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.
A typical case of the flu can last up to one week.
The flu can be a serious illness, particularly for mature populations aged 50 and older, and those with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, and asthma.
Flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Track the flu in your area.
Now, let me discuss about Levaquin.
LEVAQUIN is a broad-spectrum quinolone antibiotic used in adults to treat lung, sinus, skin, and urinary tract infections caused by certain germs called bacteria. LEVAQUIN kills many of the types of bacteria that can infect the lungs, sinuses, skin, and urinary tract and has been shown in a large number of clinical trials to be safe and effective for the treatment of many bacterial infections.
Sometimes viruses rather than bacteria may infect the lungs and sinuses (for example, the common cold). LEVAQUIN, like other antibiotics, DOES NOT kill viruses. this is another reason why I think you have the flu.; plus the fever, headaches, dry cough and severe chest discomfort.
Usually, you'll need nothing more than bed rest and plenty of fluids to treat the flu. But in some cases, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or zanamivir (Relenza).
Both medications can cause side effects, including lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and trouble breathing. They can also lead to the development of antiviral-resistant viruses.
