I hate being sick..

A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.
Postby John Doe on May 4th, 2006, 7:46 pm
Today when I woke up for school I told my parents that I was sick. They didnt believe me ad they made me go to school. My first class, I didnt get anything done. When that class was over, I decided I should go to the nurse. My friend was going to the nurse to. The nurse let me drink 2 cups of water, a pop-tart, and some crackers. She took my tempuature and it was 98.8. She told me to go lay down. My friend had his mom come in and have some ibu profen. She told me to lay down, an hour later she took my tempurature again. I was 102.2, which sucked. So I went home and layed down for 2 hours, woke up, went to sleep for another 2 hours. Now im sitting here typing this when I feel sick.

I also went to the nurse at school today, turns out I have a sinus infection. I'm on a z-pack. I had a tennis match tonight too, so that prolly didn't help any. Hopefully I feel better for Sunday, as that is my first trip of the year to Great America.

U all have 2 things...Cold & Sinus Infections. It's probably because of this
Warm, Hot And Turning back cold season. And It's allergy season too so I suggest the following:

-Get Plenty of Rest.
-Drink Plenty of Liquids(Orange Juice is Excellent when it comes to colds. Lots of Vitamins)
-Eat Soup(Chicken Noodle is Good)
-Cough Medicine( Tylenol or Bynedryll) I know I didn't spell Bynedryll right


I hope this helps and I hope you get well soon! :D

Now for the BAD Sore Throat, you have Strep Throat. U may need to to go to the doctor and get some Antbiotics so if can go away. The fever part I don't really know but I got this off of Yahoo! Health but you can read it below:

Symptoms
Common symptoms of strep throat in children and adults include:

Severe and sudden sore throat without coughing, sneezing, or other coldlike symptoms.
Pain or difficulty with swallowing.
Fever over 101° (38.3°); lower fevers may indicate a viral infection and not strep.
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
White or yellow spots or coating on the throat and tonsils.
Bright red throat or dark red spots on the roof of the mouth at the back near the throat.
Swollen tonsils, although this symptom may also be caused by a viral infection.
In teenagers, mononucleosis can cause a severe sore throat, with symptoms similar to those of strep throat. For more information, see the topic Infectious Mononucleosis.

It is easy to tell when you have a sore throat or a cold. It is harder to know when you have strep throat. Generally, sore throats are caused by a viral infection and not strep bacteria. Strep throat usually does not occur with coldlike symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, or a runny or stuffy nose. The more coldlike symptoms you have, the less likely it is that your sore throat is a strep infection.

In some cases of strep infection, a skin rash develops and spreads over the neck and chest and eventually over the whole body. The rash feels rough like sandpaper. This condition is called scarlet fever. Scarlet fever is treated with antibiotics, which usually lead to a quick recovery. Scarlet fever is not dangerous if treated.

Here are somethings you can do:
-Go See A Doctor
-Get Plenty of Rest
-Drink Alot of liquids(Orange Juice is good)
-Eat Soup
- Take the medicines what the doctor gave you.(Do Not take cloraseptic. It won't work.)

I hope you get well soon and i hope this useful info helps!

Strep throat? Should I stay home from school for that? I have a VERY diffucult time swallowing. It hurt's so much. My mom said that she's getting me medicine and thats it.

Well, it's been happening since late friday to early saturday. Also, sometimes I just need to swallow because alot of spit just appears in my mouth. I havent sneezed since friday. Whenever I eat, it hurts to swallow. Im never hungry, and if I do eat I get sick. I have white spots on my tonsils to.

You should go to a doctor, because if you're getting those white spots you probably have tonsilitis. I had it twice before and it really sucks. My first time was the worst, it kept me up at night one night. When you swallow does it feel like there's a huge lump or lumps in your throat? Because that's what it should feel like.

No, it just hurts to swallow. The white spots arent on my tonsils, there on the sides.

Whoa Whoa there Sireze? Who made you the coaster dork doctor? While white postules inside the throat usually point to strep throat, it's nothing you need to go right to the emergency room for. It might not even be strep throat. This is one of the worst allergy seasons in a long time, too. So don't always assume you are sick when you might just have allergies.

I wasn't telling u to go Straight to the emergency room I was saying if it gets very severe, then you may need to go to the emergency room if its a "I can't Breathe" kind of thing. And I know i'm not a doctor w00dland, I was just trying to help.
