I have a really bad cold but not a high temperature?!


Question: I have a really bad cold but not a high temperature!?
Just a basic view of my cold: Nose is very runny, my throat kills really bad in the morning and can't really talk, ears hurt because of swollen glands in there!.

Well I've been absent from school for 4 days, not including the 2 days we had for the weekend!. I went to the school nurse and my temperature was 97!.6!. With doubts from the schools plastic thermometer things, I did one at home and got 98!.4!. It's weird that I have no temperature at all and I feel horrible! My symptoms are especially bad in the morning which is why i refuse to go to school!. I've been taking dayquill when I wake up and nyquil when I want to go to bed!.

Whats wrong with me!? Is this normal!? What should I do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Don't worry, it just sounds like a bad cold!. When you have cold symptoms and a fever, that means the flu!. Wear lots of layers, drink plenty of water, eat fruits high in Vitamin C, like oranges and apples, and continue with the dayquill and nyquill!. Keep resting!. Within the next couple of days, you should be about 90% and able to go back to school!. Sometimes when my throat really itches, I take a teaspoon of hot sauce :) This also helps your ears!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When you have a cold virus there isn't much to do except wait for it to pass!. Medicine can help relieve the symptoms but you can't take something to "get rid" of the cold!. You don't have the flu becuase you don't have a fever so you are just fine!.

When I get a cold virus I have the same symptoms but I have a good immune system so I'm usually sick for about 12-24 hours and then I am back to normal!. Just the occasional runny nose and cough for about 2 days after being sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

here are some ideas, eat chicken soup, drink lots of water, take advil, take zycam, take vitamin c, go to bed earlier, run a humidifier!.
Colds will run their course and there is not much you can do except give your body nutritious food and rest!.
If you don't get better within the week or suddenly get worse make sure you see the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
