Infectious Diseases - July 2006

Two days ago I had a fever. Probably a flu virus. No matter how many clothes and blankets I put on, (and that in a heated room), I was still shivering from cold. Now, I only shiver intermittently, and other times feel hot and start sweating.

Just wondering if there are any particular foods that are more suited for dealing with a fever. Common sense would dictate avoiding hot food and sticking with colder foods, but sometimes the most apparent answer isn't the right one.

I have Shingles, not Temporal arteritis, on my face. Lots of pain and now blisters coming. Can it be spread to other parts of the body with a washcloth, etc. or does it only travel nerve paths? Also, can children get chicken pox after having the shot to prevent it? yanksgirl

My b/f and I have been seeing each other since last July and have been having unprotected sex since, until we went to get tested in February of this year. We didn't find out our results until April and his came out to be positive. His 1st reaction was that he was tested 2 times before and had not been sexually active with anyone prior to me, which was 2 years ago. My results were negative. He was told that he was in stage 1 of the virus, which could only mean he recently caught it. Last August, he had to get his wisdom teeth pulled because it was infected. 9 months of unprotected sex with someone HIV positive, the other person should be HIV positive also. How can I not be after all that time? He did a home test kit and results came back positive again. What can we do because as far as we know, I should have it. But I been tested 3 times now and I am still negative. Please help. Desperate for answers.

Recently it became difficult to swallow..after seeing three doctors..I finally found out through a repeat culture that I had the bacteria S.Marcescens in my throat. I couldn't swallow properly, eating became difficult..and my tonsils have been swollen. It was going on for about 3 months prior to treatment with antibiotics. I took 17 days of Cipro at 750mg. But I still dont feel like i can eat properly. They are talkin of takin out my tonsils. But I dont know if this is gonna work. I'm scared...Any helpful info of SMarsecens in the throat would be helpful as i haven't been able to get any straight answers through doctors or online..Thanks
