Infectious Diseases - March 2007

My son woke up yesterday with a fever (around 100). Other than that, he only complained of a headache. Thruoughout the day, he started to get a runny nose and cough. I kept his fever in check with Tylenol and Ibprofen. I gave him cough medicine for his cough. Today he woke up with a fever of 102 and looks horrible. He is pale and doesn't want to do much except sit on couch with blanket on him. He is shivering (fever). I am giving himTylenol and Ibprofen still. His only other symptoms are a headache. So basically he has a fever, headache, runny nose, and a cough. His appetite is fine though and he has no vomiting or diherrea. What do you think it is- cold or flu?

I have always caught every virus going, but have had one for over 2 months now. It comes and goes, sometimes relating to how tired or stressed I am, giving mild to moderate flu symptoms. I eat wisely, get plenty of rest and am taking all supplements I have been advised might help, including a comprehensive vitamin and mineral product, extra vitamin C and echinacea. The only other thing I can think of doing is consult a homoeopath. Can anyone offer any advice please?

We've all heard the controversy raised about vaccinations. Now it's time to see what the public thinks about vaccinations. I know that we need a solution to the problem (that being airborne and communicable diseases). But are vaccines worth the risk? And are they even effective in most cases?

I don't know if it is because of spicy stuff or the flu.

i had strep throat about 2 weeks ago, started taking antibiotics and felt better in like 3 days, it was spring break so i started drinking alot since i was feeling better... i finally finished the antibiotics 2 days ago, and today i have strep throat all over again.... how long should i wait this time before i start partying again? i heard alcohol doesn't affect the antibiotics... so is it possible strep didn't go away due to immunity to antibiotics or whatever and not the drinking? i'm bored and im wondering when i can get back in the game

For example, if I caught a cold, and while I was sick I drank from a water bottle and naturally got my sick germs on it. Then, when I got better, I drink from the same water bottle, would I get sick with the same thing again?

How are viruses spread?

Why should people get vaccinated?

When should I get vaccinated, or should I at all?
