Can I get sicker when I'm already sick?!


Question: Can I get sicker when I'm already sick!?
A few days ago my throat started hurting so bad that I couldn't eat, and then a day later I lost my voice almost completely for two whole days!. Other than that I had very few cold symptoms!. anyways, I feel better now, but my boyfriend just got deathly sick!. If we get together now will he make me even more sick!? or will I have a bit of an immunity since I am barely over my own cold!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You may have a bit of immunity, but that will only help you if he has EXACTLY the same virus that you have!. And most likely he doesn't!. Chances are you'll get sick again, maybe even sicker than before because your immune system hasn't fully recovered from the blow it was just dealt, and if/when your boyfriend gets better and comes to visit YOUR sick self, he'll get sick again and the two of you will pass it back and forth until one of you is in the hospital!.

And really though, does he even want to get together when he's so deathly sick and you're just now starting to get over it!? I think you both need to REST as much as possible until everyone's well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, you can get sicker!. Because he might have something completely different than you had (which sounds like you had strep throat)!. I'd stay away from him until you are all better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends:

1) is he sick with the same thing you had
2) if you have built immunities already to what he has
3) how good your immune system isWww@Answer-Health@Com
