I'm sick, but with what? Symptons included inside?!


Question: Just this weekend, on Saturday I woke up and my throat hurt a lot, at first I just thought its this way because I just woke up, but as the day progessed, My throat hurt more and more. And at night I was really cold, to the point of i was in bed and my foot felt numb.

And today, after last night I took Nyquil. When I woke up my throat hurt less but I still had a headache, So later into the day it felt a little better after taking some Coltalin(My grandma gave me it and its like this chinese herb). And I felt a little better, then later when we came home, I took a 2hour nap and woke up and took some Motrin.

So now I feel better but does anyone have a clue what i'm sick with? Im worried I have pneumonia since I have had that in the past twice. Im 15 if that helps and my temperature was up to 101, almost 102o.

Sounds like you had a viral pharyngitis. Sore throat and fever that seems to be improving and going away. No real need for anything except lots of fluids, rest, and continue Tylenol or Ibuprofen if needed. You'll be your old self in no time!

If you're not having trouble breathing, coughing it's probably not pneumonia. It's more likely a flu bug. Plenty of fluids, bed rest, and stay warm. I like the alka-seltzer cold & flu products (or the store brand). It helps with the fever, aches and helps you sleep.

Sounds like a viral flu bug, take ibuprofen and drink lots of clear liquids, hot tea with honey will be soothing to the throat also gargle with warm water and salt, several times a day to help the throat to heal. NyQuil is good to take at night time to help you sleep and they also have DayQuil so you don't get so drowsy during the day. Feel better soon.

wersells... do you think it could be strep?
Since you work in the profession, I would really like your opinion. At what point does a sore throat become something you might want to get swabbed?
I used to work in a lab, and whenever I was sick and couldn't find the time to see a doctor, I usually just collected my own sample and ran tests. I know that sounds weird : )....
I have never really known how long you should wait before seeing a doctor for a sore throat.
