My little one has been dealing with the exact same symptoms since Christmas: she ran a fever of 101.5 for three days straight. It would drop after some Advil, only to spike right back up six hours later. Add in the headaches, that nasty hacking cough, and her just being completely wiped out and refusing to eat... well, after three days, it turned into bronchitis, and we're still fighting an uphill battle to get her better.

So, if I can offer any advice, don't take these kinds of symptoms lightly and try to push through it at work or school. Complications can happen fast. They don't say you should ride out the flu (if that's what it is) for nothing.

Even though she wasn't officially diagnosed with the flu—just secondary viral bronchitis, since her CRP was under 6 and they didn't prescribe antibiotics—I’m fairly certain it was the flu.

The big question now is whether it’s the flu or maybe adenovirus, especially since the flu is incredibly contagious and neither my husband nor I have been "taken down" by it yet. Perhaps it’s just a matter of time. 🙄

The whole point of this thread was for people who AREN'T solo to chime in and give us the lonely ones some hope. You’re just being a nuisance. 😁 😉

Where has everyone gone? I'm riding solo too. Honestly, it doesn't bother me one bit. Quite the opposite, actually.🙂

God, what a mess...
But it works. It actually works.🙂

Let me offer you some comfort now. 😛 If my memory serves me right—and it usually does, despite how much the world tries to cloud it—you need a prescription to get your hands on Virolex. It’s not exactly something you just grab off the shelf at a CVS like a pack of gum. You’ll need a doctor to sign off on it first.

It works for me too, but only during that initial stage when the herpes is just starting to surface. If I don't catch it right away—before that telltale tingling sensation hits my lip—it’s pretty much useless. It's like trying to put out a forest fire with a water pistol after the trees are already gone. 😢

Good grief.😢 Thank goodness I didn't watch how it ended.🙂

That sounds way too familiar to me...😁 😛
