So I went to the doctor today and I was running a low fever. She tested for the flu with that awful nasal swab and it was negative and my breathing was normal, no asthma symptoms.
So, the diagnosis is a viral infection. I'm taking Mucinex Fast-Max which is over the counter and has a fever reducer, cough supressant, and decongestant all in one.
She did call in a script for an antibiotic to the pharmacy, but dated it for Friday, so if I don't feel better by then, I have something for the weekend. Yes, Listener, I was going to ask, but she offered. I really like her.
I did not buy Vicks for my feet, though I have heard of that. It just seems weird, but, hey, if it works for you, millie...
Just fine, where do you get Bragg's apple cidar vinegar? Is it more potent than the regular stuff? I keep hearing about it.
Shirley, I have Costco honey. It does seem to soothe my throat a little bit, but no miracles. Honey has gotten very expensive lately. I'll look for farmer's market honey, but don't know if I'll be able to afford it.
Doofdaddy, I have been thinking about getting a neti pot, but I fear that I might feel like I'm drowning. Not sure about my skills.
Thanks everyone for the good advice. I'm going to take a nap now and let my body do its thing and kick this virus. Goodnight!
