I'm just curious. I had what seemed like a virus this week. Last Sunday, I spent a few hours on public transportation (subway & train), and on Monday had a scratchy throat & felt a little tired. Tuesday, I had a real fever with almost violent chills. I do not know what my temperature actually was but I was pretty sick until the next morning when I felt about 100 percent better. I had coughing and sneezing and a mild case of laryngitis, but I am almost back to normal today. I thought this might just be a common cold, but when I have those, it seems they last a lot longer, particularly the cough which seems to last for weeks. The cough and the sneezing are gone. I just would like to know what I might have had.
