How do I know if I have the flu?
You may have the flu if you have some or all of these symptoms:
- fever *
- cough
- sore throat
- runny or stuffy nose
- body aches
- headache
- chills
- fatigue
- sometimes diarrhea and vomiting
*It’s important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.
Yup, sounds about right. I only had a low-grade fever, so I didn't have much of the body aches or chills. That's it, everything else I had. Fun. On top of that I had/have a sinus infection. The kind I have (Maxillary) is common to go along with stuff like flu. It is unlike any of the other sinus infections I have ever had, and I've had a lot. My teeth hurt with it, it was insane. I'm on a strong antibiotic for 14 (!) days. I am still not over it, but feeling MUCH better.
From there, we move to Lily getting sick, pretty positive she caught what I had. I noticed the symptoms and we got her on Tamiflu the exact same day. I swear that stuff helped a ton. She is still all rumbly in her head and hoarse, but not super fussy or feverish. So far, Abby hasn't had it, but I'm hopeful that she may make it through okay. If you count when my very first sympton started, we are on 10 days of not feeling good. Meaning, I am going stir crazy!!!!! We should be able to take care of that this weekend.
