Do any of you have flu like symptoms at your worst ie sore throat, shivering,loss of appetite etc?

The doctor has give me two weeks worth of antibiotics as he believed I had a sinus infection. The shivering and sore throat have gone but clear mucus is still coming out of my nose and I am coughing up grey/green stuff.

I am wondering if it is simply the time of the year? When my bloods came back my IgE level was over 300.

I have been tested for all the triggers without success - has anybody had any joy going private?

Get to your .doc and have a sputum sample taken. If you are coughing up coloured phlegm that indicates an infection. The sputum sample should tell them what it is and what antibiotic would be most suitable to fight it off.
