Is Doctor S Consultation Advisable While Staying In A Disease Prone Area?
I live in Mesquite, Nevada and golfed yesterday in high winds. After words I came done with flue like systems. I was sick all day and night. My golfing friend had valley fever last year. Mesquite is a desert town and valley fever is not uncommon here. I m feeling better today but do I need to see a doctor?

Hi,
Since you started feeling better in a day, the possibility of valley fever is unlikely. You may follow up with your doctor if the flu-like symptoms recur or worsens. In the future consider wearing a mask while planning to be outdoors for longer period of time to prevent inhaling the fungal spores.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
