Infectious Diseases - November 2006

and how is it best treated.

I have had a seemingly endless rut of colds and chest infections since the beginning of October. Just getting better last week - phoned my boss to tell him I'd be back at work today (20th Nov) and then got an horrendous sore throat, as well as severe diarrhoea and 'bowel' cramps (not stomach) which have lasted since Friday afternoon right up to now. Haven't been sick with it, but the bowel 'pain' is excrutiating at times. Immodium didn't help. Went to doctor this morning she prescribed Mebeverine Hydrochloride and diagnosed Viral Gastritis + Diarrhoea.

Any tips to get rid quickly and which virus causes it?

I found out that I have an ear infection in both ears. My doctor prescribed me Augmentin XR antibiotics, and I have been taking them for about 2 days. Does anyone know how long it will be until I can hear normally again? The pain from the infection is gone-thank God-but my hearing is driving me nuts!
Thank you

I came down with what seems like a cold (runny nose, sore throat, chills) this morning, and I would really like to be well before Thanksgiving. Other than drinking lots of water, what are good ways to get well fast? Thanks!

It is a tick borne disease...My vet left a message on my machine. I will call him tomorrow but it will drive me crazy until then.

Okay, I have a fever of 104 for the last three days. My glands are very swollen, I have a headache and body aches and I slept for eleven hours today. Also much sinus congestion. Yesterday my sister's blood test came back positive for mono, and she has to stay in the nurse's office for recess at school every day. She has all my symptoms.

My throat is so swollen I can barely swallow and it's getting more and more hard to breathe. I have work in a few hours, however, I am leaving for the hospital right now. I can barely move and my last day of work, I kept falling asleep. I have had previous attendance issues. Do you think that if I show I have mono, they will excuse it? I don't like missing work but I feel so sick.

Thanks.
