Allergies, I had them real bad, like a cold, but it was allergies. If you get fever, drink an antibiotic

that sounds like allergies...I have them really bad....

try going to an allergist....I do and I am SO glad I did.

He took a blood test to find out what exactly i was allergic to and instead of shots every week I have drops I take every day and they come mailed to my house.

I feel so MUCH better!

you should try it...

i'm not a doctor...
BUT
i've got super bad allergies that have actually landed me in the hospital a few times because i feel like i'm dying and the doctors think it HAS to be some kind of viral infection... pump enough allergy meds in me and i end up being fine.

i've had a super bad sore throat and cough along with a headache to kill the past few days...turns out the pollen count has been rediculous the past few days.

so while i cant tell you what is wrong with you i can tell you that allergies suck right now and all your symptoms could be allergies.
i'd take a benedryl or chlortrimaton otc and see how you feel... if you dont feel better try a dayquil.

again... not medical advice...just experience talking

Feel better!!!

i have horrible allergies, but i was sick a few weeks ago
the way i can tell for me is if my body hurts - then im sick

if its just allergies, its in my head and chest, but im not achey
