Breathless very sore throat and shaky, any ideas guy, still got a pain in my back, taking all sorts, don't know what to do next

Hi Cimmy I can't be much help I'm afraid. I just wanted to say sorry you are feeling so rough. Maybe you need steroids as well? Or maybe a different antibiotic? I think if you are no better by Monday get yourself back to the doctors. Hoping you feel better soon.

[Cimmy in reply to Hidden]

THANKYOU for your response, just feeling a bit sorry for myself, I think I might need steroids myself, gotta get it sorted, hate feeling this rough

Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad - you may need to call out a doctor. It is awful to be so ill - if you get any worse call for an ambulance. Please go back to your doctor on Monday . My husband was told if he didn't feel much better by day 4 of antibiotics to go back to doctor. Don't wait . Take good care TAD xx

Istarted to giggle saying Igot a cold and cough "you silly cow what are you like!!" It was a good funny moment for a few minutes,cheered me up. Janexx

[Cimmy]

Thankyou for your reply, it did make me giggle, which promptly started a coughing fit, but it made me smile

Some infections take a lot of clearing. I remember a particularly strong one that needed 4 courses of antibiotics to clear it, each stronger than the last. Or it could be the flu. Or a number of other things. Worth going back and checking with your GP.

[Cimmy in reply to Toci]

Hi toci I will see the dr again on Monday I think, I'm normally good at getting over infections and flu, but this has hit me hard, feel like rubbish at the moment, and I've have the flu jab, never again, THANKYOU and take care
