Q: Various Col Symptoms

Friday- developed sore throat, severe constant headache, and stiff neck
saturday- continued normal routine but felt very sick, came home and slept
sunday- went to work for two hours, came home sick, temperature of 104 that night, still with all symptoms of friday.


Also started coughing, congestion in chest.


Monday- stayed home from school, slept/watched tv all day, fever, less headache and neck pain
tuesday- stayed home again, diminishing fever, but coughing still keeping me awake.


This morning I went to school but after two hours I went home because I went to the nurse to get tylenol and they freaked when i
told them my temp was 102.5 the night before. Came home early, slept.



I honestly don't feel too bad. My temperature is normal in the morning, and usually shoots up to
102.8 ish around 7:00. Still coughing, sore throat, some neck pain. I guess overall i'm just exhausted, wiped out.


I feel too tired to do schoolwork very efficently. Got a negative strep test today.



No idea what it is. I could probably suffer through school but I am becoming concerned because I have had this fever
for a few days, though it is normal in the morning. No sexual activity or anything. I'm 17 and i've been taking tylenol, something-tussin?, some nyquil last night, and the nurse gave me a blue pill today that was supposed to last a while, but hasn't had any effect.



Any idea??
