Anyone else getting sick?

There are at least 4 of us in my office that are sick (congestion, sore throat, laryngitis- me, cough, etc.) Evan is home sick with day 3 of his fever but the doc said everything else seems fine. His chest sounds okay and he coughs less frequently than he did a few days ago. And thank God his ears are clear. I guess the tubes are working.

Just wondering if this is just complications from allergies (a lovely sinus infection perhaps) or if something else is going around. Guess I'll find out at my doctor's appointment this afternoon.

  • I just finished a round of antibiotics for tonsillitis.  When I went in, my doctor said that strep is rampant right now.  He was surprised I didn't test positive.

  • There is a cold of some sort making its way through our house. All 3 kids are sick and DH is showing signs of being sick too. I am going to cry if I get sick too. Although I wouldn't be surprised since I am so drained from the lack of sleep due to the kids being sick.

    Had all that about 2 weeks ago.  Doctor said it was viral and treat symptoms.  Took a god week to get back to normal.

    Nasal spray, Ricola and Mucinex were my best friends.

  • I had bronchitis last month. It really knocked me out for more than 2 weeks. But now I have a cough and sinus pressure that is allergy related. The rag weed is really up and everything is so dusty from the drought. If you don't have a fever, chances are very good it's allergy related. I lose my voice from allergies, especially if my sinuses get backed up. If I were you, I'd try a neti pot or saline rinse before you end up with a sinus infection.

  • I have been fighting a sore throat for about a week. I've been taking airborn like candy.
  • i have students coughing and sneezing all around me.

    i've been dealing with a sore throat since thursday and woke up with a stuffy nose yesterday. nothing too terrible, but enough to make me feel crappy. (sorry - tmi) i'm getting blood when i blow my nose, which makes me think sinus infection.

  • DH and DD both had upper respiratory infections/sinus infections in the last two weeks.
  • I'm all sniffles, sneezing, weezing & super tired...Maybe in a few days.
  • It's been allergies for us. 

    A couple of weeks ago when that fire in the Magnolia area was burning really bad and we could see/smell the smoke in Tomball, ds and I got really sick for almost a week because we spent too much time outside one day.     

    We have the sniffles and occasional cough right now but I'm 99% sure it's because we are packing, getting ready to move, and I'm sure I've stirred up all sorts of dust, not to mention all the boxes in the house.

  • i think something is going around.  i've been sick for about 3-4 days (pretty much just a head-cold, though - not serious), and a couple people in my office have it.  
  • DH seems to have the plague... I mean allergies. :)

    It seems to have hit him a little later than usual this year.  Maybe because of the drought?

    I hope he pulls through! Wink

  • DS really showed signs of being sick last Thursday when he sneezed and out came the technicolor rockets. He's been stuffy/runny nose & not sleeping well since then. He's considerably better, but still coughs when he lays down and has the runny/stuffy nose, but not like before.
