Little Scare

[DirtTime]

Last Friday morning I started getting a super dry cough. It was persistent and started to get painful. The wife was taking no chances and made me go for a Covid test. That was negative, but I have a nasty sinus and upper respiratory infection. Yay! Pounding orange juice, taking Mucinex, and getting rest. This sucks, I can tolerate being sick just about any time of the year but when there's a hunting season going on.

Cough is subsiding, but my nose is running like Niagara Falls if it was hit with a week long monsoon. Hope you get better soon.

Zinc and Vitamin C, every morning, builds up your immune system, prevention is the key.  Started doing this a couple of years, haven't had  a cold since.

Eat oranges non stop, I did it with covid last year and it never put me down, I did housework the whole time. 

[DirtTime]

I've gone through about three gallons of OJ. It's starting to screw up the stomach issues I have. Damned if I do damned if I don't thing.

 

I just hope it it passes fast enough I can get out with the bow a couple days before heading north.

Requires RX and if its viral than it doesnt do anything

[DirtTime]

I tried to call my general Doc., apparently the phones aren't working right now. Nose is starting to dry up, I can take a drink without it dripping into the glass so I guess that's a good start.

well its not covid and its an infection so theres a fair chance its bacterial, id get to my doctor and get a zpack

Just to be safe, I'd go for another Covid test. I know of a few people that thought they had it, but the test came back negative, only to test again 1-2 days later and have it be positive...

[ApexerER]

I am having the same issue. Felt like crap a week ago, fever etc.....Got a covid test and it was negative. Feel much better now but still have a dry cough that is annoying as hell....

No fever to speak of, 99.5 on Friday, an hour later it was back to normal. No headache, no loss of taste or smell. So I doubt it's covid, my wife wanted to be sure so I got the test.

There is a virus going around call VSR, and it looks kind of like COVID symptoms, sat in the urgent care lot in my truck 2 hours awaiting a "rapid" COVID test to get on the "Z-pack" and some good old fashion codeine cough syrup.

Wife is a teacher and 1/2 her class has it and it came home to me.

It's been about a week and finally it is breaking up and going away...

Bets of luck, need to get into the woods !!

That sucks. I hope you and yours get well soon.

[suburbanfarmer]

Well it must be an infection thats moving fast. Woke up like i had eaten glass.

Cant swallow and nose is stuffy.

[DirtTime]

I caved and called my general Dr. a few minutes ago. It was getting better then it started to get worse again. Because I have a cough they won't allow me into the office so I have to do a virtual visit. Really? I guess at least I don't have to drop trow and hack up a lung for them.
