I have a viral conjunctivitis and a temp of 102. I threw up early and afterwards when i wiped my eye there was some blood mixed with the mucus. Now my eye is swelling and the upper part is completely red. It looks to be spreading.

My daughter was just diagnosed with Chicken Pox. She has been vaccinated. She only broke out with about 8 spots. There is one on the back of her leg that is red, swollen, and warm to the touch. Almost like mabye if someone was bite by a mosquito and they were allergic (if you know what that looks like). I am very concerned and I am about to call the Dr. Has anyone else experienced this with their children and chicken pox?

For the past month or so my husband has had "episodes" where he experiences aches, fatigue and generally feeling ill with a fever of about 100. This lasts 1 or maybe 2 days and he's back to normal again and totally better. Then about a week or two later, the same thing comes back again.

Today he came home feeling the same way again - that makes the 3rd time in less than 5 weeks.

He's been checked for mono and it was negative. He eats a balanced diet and is not under a lot of stress. What might be the problem, and why does this come and go?

I've had chills, a fever, headache, as well, and feel horrible! Does this sound like the flu?

A couple of days ago I felt like I had the flu. My body was achy and so I was just drinking liquids. Never threw up and my thoat felt fine.
I thought I would get rid of the virus quicker if I drank some dieters tea. I drank some of that yesterday and I do feel a lot better today.
But now my stool is like this greenish yellow color. Is this something that happens when you get the flu? Do you get greenish stool?

I'm 29 and have never had a bad flu or even thrown up from being sick.

Thanks

My son lives in England, where the flu is spreading quite rapidly. His boss almost died from it, that is how serious it is. My son does not have the flu, but he is concerned about coming for his visit this month and getting my elderly parents ill. Should he stay away from them the first few days?

I appreciate answers, but PLEASE, I am requesting answers from health professionals ONLY. Someone who actually knows the answer, and not guessing.

Thanks so much!!

I guess i got all the vaccines as a baby- but all of a sudden my blood test showed I am susceptible to the virus- and my husband and I are planning on trying again for a baby (miscarred in October) If I had the vaccine- doesnt that mean it didnt work? If I get another vaccine - My husband and I have to try for a baby four months later(which is exactly everything we dont want- we want to try after my next cycle)...Is this vaccine necessary- no one even brought this up in my first (successful) pregnancy???

I'm 29 and I've never had the flu, never got sick to the point of throwing up. I've had colds, but never a really bad flu.

But two days ago, I was out and about the whole day running errands, and when I got home in the afternoon I started to not feel well. My arms were achy, but I don't have any throat problem and my stomach doesn't hurt. I just feel achy. My nose is running.

I felt better yesterday, but it still hasn't left.

I got ringworm 3 days ago from petting a dog. It's all over my tummy and back. What can I use that is non prescription? (I don't have any money for a doctor, and I have no health insurance.) Please don't tell me to go to a doctor. I've had this before and I know how to identify it. I've heard that diluting bleach or using tea tree oil is supposed to help. Does any one know something I can buy a the drug store that is actually intended for ring worm? Please let me know... this stuff is spreading like crazy.

I am feeling so ill that I feel sad and possibly depressed. I really want to find something to help me feel better. I was diagnosed with a staph infection and given a week's worth of antibiotics. I am on Imuran from a kidney transplant 3 years ago. I had swollen lymph nodes all over, a blinding headache, and a stiff neck. I went to the doctor, and he said that, plus boils (I just though I was having an acne breakout) was staph from being on Imuran. Since then, I have been having unbearable symptoms. I don't feel rested after sleeping or napping, skin is peeling and feels sunbruned near some of the pimpes I drained, nausea that makes me carry a bucket, headache, itching red rash in several places, etc. Now my whole back is stiff. The worst part is that I feel like I am freezing and do not have a fever and have an insatiable craving for powdered donuts. I don't know if my thermometer is broken, but it showed between 97.1 and 97.6 all day today. My doctor isn't returning my phone calls :^

I work in a book store and a customer got a paper cut and wanted a band aid. I didn't help her, someone else did. My fear is that if she had AIDS I could have somehow gotten it from her or my coworker who helped her. Am I just being crazy?

What is the normal events when someone has a very high fever. Are they always sweaty? Or are they just very hot to the touch, and they can't sweat?
Also, if the person sweats during a fever, when does the sweating start -- before or after the fever breaks. Im not even sure what is meant by a fever break.
Do people sweat profusely in the presence of infection in the body?

Please read all of this. I didn't go to school Monday or today because I was sick and vomiting. Today, I went to the doctor and I have a viral infection. I'm using cough syrup with codeine in it. I for got what it's called. The nurse said that I'm not really contagious BUT if I have a bad cough tomorrow morning to not go to school. Even if I do have a bad cough tomorrow morning, the cough medicine would probably get rid of it. She said to definitely not go to school if I'm vomiting. What should I do? Explain please.
