Wake up with a throat on fire and very sore for 1-2 days, then a couple days of coughing followed by 2 months of upper respiratory problems. It seems like everybody has this crap right now.
What is this virus going around?

I'm dealing with it right now. It's nasty.

Z pack got rid of mine. Sounds like the same thing you have based on symptoms
You mean a cold?
It's allergies
Hot toddy will cure that

No it's not. Im not triggered by anything typically down here but have had two rounds of this **** when yahoos bring it in to work and spread it around.
Thanks Obama
Wife and I can't stop coughing tonight. Sore throat started a few days ago. Yep. It's a weird one in that I never felt totally sick but it's been nagging.
I'm sure it is another gift that came from south of the border.

There is a NASTY stomach bug going around too.

If it was a mild virus, like mine was, the Z pack did nothing while your body fought it off quickly anyway. I really hate doctors that are helping to build resistance against the few antibiotics we have that still work.
Well, a friend who specializes in community medicine did her fellowship about tuberculosis headed north from Mexico and the Valley...
She's been amazed at how little attention it gets and how unprepared we are.
That was about 10 years ago...

Wife and I have been fighting off the beginning stages as well.
Zinc seems to have helped us from getting worse.

. Well, a friend of mine specializes in THC consumption warned me about tuberculosis crossing with killer bees coming up from South America and how totally unprepared we are. That was like fifteen years ago.88jrt06 said:

unless there was an opportunistic bacterial infection that they contracted along with the initial virus that lingered.Buck O Five said:fire09 said:

RSV. I dealt with it a couple of months ago, and I had a cough and drainage for weeks afterwards.
Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.

Adults can get RSV? Didn't know that.
Wife and I both just beat colds. I weathered it pretty well, but it got her pretty good, even a fever. It's been going around.
Perhaps it's a stress reaction to our weather forecasts? Those seem to trigger you quite a bit.Cromagnum said:cclearman said:

This hit us in late March. Miserable with throat on fire for several days, and then I got the addition of laryngitis and costochondritis from coughing. We are still dealing with minor upper respiratory and hoarseness. I can't imagine getting this twice.
Has anyone ever tried Magic mouthwash? I had never heard of it, but my doctor prescribed this concoction to gargle with that was the only thing that helped with the throat pain. The pharmacist had to compound it himself.

I suggest an IV if you keep it up more than 24 hours
That sounds like a norovirus, like the kind that ruins entire cruises.
