Glad you are feeling better today Julie, it really is horrible, always takes me two weeks to feel entirely human again!

I am very glad that you are feeling better!

I did read that you were taking something, but you did right in letting your doctor know that you were having pain, and of course he is the one who can tell you, as you tell us yours did, that you need to give a particular medicine more time, or change the medicine to a different one.and especially any time an adult has a temperature over 100 or so, that is definitely something that your doctor needs to know about, something that you need to be seen for, and of course the pain that you were having.

Take care of yourself, rest!

I have the same cold right now and they wont give me anything they said it has to run it's course on it's own..... i am using saline nose drops which reduce the glands in your sinus so that the mucus is thinner and you can actually cough it up or blow it out which seems to help alot with the headache other than that im going cold turkey and havent slept in 2 days because my throat is also killing me!!!!!!!!

A fever is a good sign - it means your body is fighting off the infection. Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. You need FLUIDS big time - no matter how hard it is to get them down. Feel better.
