Been sick for 10 days. Normal or not?!
Question: Been sick for 10 days!. Normal or not!?
I went to the doctor, and he said it's just a virus!. He even took my blood and he said I'm normal!.
Anyways, I started being sick last Friday (10 days ago), I had nausea (haven't vomited), fever, body ache and I lost my appetite!. Now, I sometimes feel nauseous after I eat!. I also don't eat well, cos I feel sick afterwards!. My parents are saying that I'm making myself sick (they mean, I'm OK)!. But I'm not!.

Answers:
The doctor told you that you had a virus!. The sad part about having a virus is that there is no fast treatment, like antibiotics to make you feel right quickly!. With a virus, you have to just let it take its course!.
Yes, you will be fine!. It just seems like forever because you feel so icky and gross!.
The doctor might be able to prescribe something for the nausea, that much he/she can do!. It's called supportive care, having an illness where all they can do it treat the symptoms!.
I hope that you have been taking either Tylenol or Motrin to help with the body aches and fever!.
If you aren't hungry, just make sure that you drink fluids!. Try warm chicken broth, and if you think you can handle it, stuff like mashed potatoes,(no butter), rice, and stay away from all dairy foods while you are feeling nauseated/are vomiting!.
Usually a virus takes about 2 weeks or so to run through it's cycle!. It'll take you a bit to recover your strength afterward!.
I hope that you feel much better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Can can take that long to feel better!. My MD used to call it PVS: post viral syndrome!
Try Pepto Bismol for nausea & upset stomach (it coats your stomach)!.
Take Advil or Aleve for body aches & pains & fever!.
Drink Gatorade, flat Ginger Ale, eggs, plain toast, noodles, rice, applesauce, Jello, chicken soup, tea with lemon, skinless chicken, turkey breast, baked potatoes, etc!.
Take Vit Ester C 2000 mg every 2 hours for 2-3 days!.
Goldenseal Root, Astragalus!.
I believe you! Feel better soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ive been sick like that before I think I had the stomach flu (yuck)!. except I was vomiting even the thought of food made me sick!. My mom has said that to me before too!. Try going back to the doctor, and try taking your mind off of it I know it's hard when you feel like your dying!. What I do is play a game like my Wii or my Ds!. try watching T!.V!. Hope this might help,
