A: That’s strange. I am currently suffering from cold/flu symptoms and a chest infection. And I also have quite a sharp pain coming from my ribs. It has started to ease off now, but I have no idea why it started hurting.

Son had swine flu (apparently) but now just cold symptoms has it passed now?

Q: My 6 year old complained of really bad headaches on the Saturday, he was off his food, he then had a bad night that night with a high temp, he also had had a cough for a couple of weeks before hand but nothing major. He then was very feverish and had stomache cramps on the Sunday, a bit of a poorly tummy on the Monday. I rang the swine flu line who listed about 30 symptoms I answered yes to about 4 of them and they prescribed tamiflu, I collected it but didnt give him it as I wanted to wait and see if Calpol etc helped first. Its now Wed and he’s finally picking up his appetite, not needing medicine every four hours, no temp and says he feels much much better, more energy etc and getting ‘bored’ at home. I was wondering though, he still has a chesty cough, sniffles and sneezes, does this mean he still has the swine flu if it was that?I have a 7 month old baby who is currently teething so has a cold and runny tummy no temp and is very happy still.. Will he be at risk still of catching it?Its so hard to know what to do – is my boy free from the flu yet or not? worried about them being together

A: I just got over the Swine flu 3 days ago and I still have the cough, sore throat, and sniffles. I think it is just what you are left with once the virus has run its course. Think about it. The virus makes everything in your lungs irritated and makes your mucus glands swell. It takes some time for all that to return to normal once the virus itself has left. As long as there is no fever, everything should be fine. Just treat it as sinus problems. That’s what I am doing at least. Hope that helped and stay well!!

Flu and Cold like symptoms? Can you help me out here?

Q: I am Autistic, I am quite tiny because at birth I came out feet first, so I came out weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces. I take medication for my ADHD also known as Attention Deficit Disorder. The proper pronunciation of the disorder is within the initials ADHD, commonly labeled ADD. I eat a lot, but I am just so tiny. I am doing ab ripper x which is an ab work out, it’s 15 minutes and has 25 reps. I want to gain some muscle because, I guess because of my amazing metabolism, I need some muscle to gain some damn weight. I love my food, and I really don’t know where it all goes, haha.Anyways, since I am so lean but I am quite healthy, when I get sick I can REALLY tell and I feel less energetic. Since I have ADHD, I am usually energetic, even though I on the computer a lot. I get up and run around the house and so spins and jumps, etc. Just this past weekend I started to feel sick. It started out with a sore throat and a fever. Than on Tuesday, I started to feel different, my face felt like it was on fire, or just inflamed. I started to get nausea, it felt like I was going to throw up, but I didn’t. I wanted to throw up, just so that nauseating feeling would die down. I had to get my brother to pick me up from school on Tuesday.Now I am feeling quite weak and shaky. The symptoms I have experienced so far are: Fatigue, stuffy nose, warm face, weakness and shakiness, loss of appetite, nausea, and many trips to the bathroom.Missing school isn’t my main worry at the moment, I need to get better because I take Co-op at school, and if I am sick, I will just be the blame for others who catch my germs.My health is very important, I am just curious to what kind of virus I have. I haven’t thrown up yet, but I keep getting that nauseating feeling and discomfort. The worst so far is my weakness, I feel very lazy and I feel like a zombie.I had to motivate myself to get off the couch at times, haha. I am not ashamed that I am sick, because I would say overall I am a pretty healthy person. Even a healthy persons get sick, you need to once in awhile to boost your immune system. But this weakness and shakiness is awful, it feels like I’m vibrating inside. I won’t think about it too much, I’ll just get more rest and more nutrients.I had some soup,a yogurt, a Fiber 1 bar, an apple and some party mix(haha, I know not such a good idea when your sick)and a crap load of lying down on the couch.
