Help!!! Allergies Or a Nasty Virus???? Posted: 12-13-05 20:12pm
So, I got sick almost two months ago.
Thought it was just a bad flu or cold.
It took a while to get over and then left
me with a lingering cough and stuffy nose
(which is typical). But since then I
keep feeling like i'm getting sick again
every week. My nose is severely
congested and runny, I sneeze and my
throat is really scratchy, and I have a
cough and am coughing up yellow stuff. I
went to the Dr. Last week and he gave me
antibiotics and nasal spray (steroid) but
I feel like crap again. Am I getting a
new cold every week or is this allergies?
I'm miserable and just wish there was an
explanation. The Dr. Said that this time
of year there aren't many outdoor
allergens that are active (in northern
cali) but I have indoor allergies too.
What is causing this? Has anyone else
experienced this chronic sickness due to
allergies? What did you do?

Yellow means infection is what I thought
and i'm having the same problem. You have
just got to find the right antibiotic,
viruses and bacteria evolve rapidly so
they are immune to certain antibiotics.
If antibiotics havnt helped in like 3 days
then it isnt going to work. We get ours
from mexico when my parents go on
vacation, because you can buy any
antibiotic over the counter without a
prescription at a cheap price. If you
check back to your doctor then they would
probably know to get you a different
antibiotic. I keep coughing so bad that I
eventually get on the brink of throwing
up, but I barely fight it off every time.
I'm not sure but I think its bronchitis.
Does anyone have the same problem after
working in tobacco? Because I think thats
where I got it.
