i've been sick for about 3 weeks now. the symptoms that i've noticed are stuff like... on and off dizziness, nauciosness (sorry i dont know how to spell that!), sore throat, coughing, runny nose, and im always REALLY tired (like i could sleep for 14 hours...). but the coughing and runny nose stuff just barely started yesterday. i've gone to a doctor and he tested me for strep but it came back negative. my friend thinks its the flu... but i've had all this for at least 3 weeks. any ideas? i've gone to a doctor twice within this time.. and he doesnt know, and i've missed a lot of school so i dont know what to do. help?

it sounds like it could be a number of things: mono, allergies, sinus infection, the flu. the flu or mono can last for weeks. are you running a fever? have you switched in meds or over the counter meds? you could try seeing another dr in the same practice or some practices have nurse practioners or MA's. i hope you feel better soon!

It sounds like you have mononucleosis, or commonly called "Mono". This is a common virus among highschoolers, and college students. I work in a university clinic and we test for this all of the time. Go back to your doctor, or another one for a second opinion and ask for a Mono test. It's a fingerstick, and the blood is put on a kit like a pregnancy test. It's that simple. The reason why I believe this is what you have is because the most common symptoms are chronic sore throat and exhaustive tiredness. And, this can actually last for up to 6 months. Go get a blood test. Hope this helps.

No, your toddler would be ok. do no longer take something to your chilly without consulting your clinical professional. I had 4 infants and in no way fails... consistently had a chilly or flu. i replaced into purely able to take Tylenol. Get some relax, consume some rooster soup and drink orange juice and quite some beverages. get extra constructive!
