I dont exactly know where to put this, but i am a teen so! Last fall i had what i thought was the normal flu, i had a fever, headache, neausea, but i also had a few weird symptoms that i dont normally get with a flu, which is sore muscles in my back and chest soreness when i breathe in. I went to the doctors because i had a 103 temperature and they told me that it was a common cold and i should wait a week for it to go away. So i did, and it went away in a week or so. But now, 5 months later, i am developing the same symptoms, the flu symptoms with the nausea, fever and headache, but also the sore muscles in my back and the soreness in my chest. If anyone out there has had this before, is it possible my doctor diagnosed it wrong? Or is it just a reacurrance of the same cold?
What do you advise that i do?
Thanks for any help!

See another doctor. Not every doctor can know everything.

The flu is a viral thing. So maybe you have a different kind of viral infection.

These days people go to the doctor for even a simple cold, so maybe the doctor just gets sick of that and doesn't see it when people have a real problem.

You may need to ask your insurance company who else you can go to. Just tell them that you are not happy with your current doctor and need to change.

I developed these symptoms yesterday. This is going to sound wierd, but after some research, I think I am allergic to phenylalanine in chewing gum. I hardly ever chew gum, but over the last few years, everytime I do I get sick... In addition to your symptoms, my throat is really sore. I feel better today. It sounds silly that gum could make me sick.

I am really curious. Do you chew gum or drink diet soda or consume some other food product that contains phenylalanine or aspartame?

Good luck,
