I seem to have a virus, that's going around. Wondered if any of you have had it. Headache, chills, fever, Sore throat, swollen glands, blocked ears. Got amoxcillin tablets yesterday. Their gigantic! Took one last night. Anyway, any of you guys had this bug? Don't seem to be in my lungs, so far.

Thanks

Rubyxx 😊 😊

Thanks Cough

same symptoms I have? I'm wondering if it's the flu. You better be careful, wouldn't want to see you or any of the family get it. It sucks! Be well Cough. What are you doing on this nice day?

Love Rubyxxx πŸ˜€

Hi Ruby

snap. Started last Monday for me, managed to have my birthday tea on Tues which sister did for me, so wasn't too bad then, but it kicked in more after that. Started ab on Friday myself on GP phone advice. Cant have lemsip etc as no decongestants allowed, but am having honey and lemon drinks. Have an app with Dr on Tuesday so will get checked then to make sure alls going well. Hope your better soon.

Hi rubyred777,

Its not just me then has i have just got over that and my throat was really bad and what worried me a little was the headache has i never got them but i was so wheezy and where i was coughing so much at first all of my ribbs were hurting (has i never cough much) but my GP did not think i had chest infection but still prescriped me amoxcillin just in case.

I did not take the antibiotics and slowly got better after 3 weeks but wonderd if i had taken them would i have got better more quick.. anyway least i have them fer emergency backup if and when i need.

Has now worry after whats been said on the news about keep takeing antibiotics they have no efect after a while, so i thought i would save them for when or if i get bad later

Good luck

Oh Ruby - I haven't but my daughter had scarlet fever last week and your symptoms sound similar though she did have the rash! Fingers crossed it misses your chest and you start to feel better soon. Lots and lots of love TAD xxx
