Hi there, I have been sick for 8 days. I'm not sure if just cold or flu or something else. It started with a sore throat which became worse very quickly (within 5 hours) to the point where it hurt terribly to swallow water. I now have plugged nose and sinuses and my throat feels swollen at times and I continually cough up phlegm. I have also thrown up two separate days. I do not have any body ache or head ache. At night I seem to sweat a ton waking up with the sheets damp. This morning This is the third time since January I have been sick but this time has been the worst as I just feel down right terrible. I am 23 years old, 6'0, 181lbs. I have lost about 10 lbs since January and have not been sleeping well due to a newborn in the house. I have tried allergy medicines (reactine) which seem to do nothing and I have never had allergies before and I have never been sick this much before. Any suggestions??
