Hi, I recently went to the doctor with the following symptoms: Severe Throat Pain, Bad Cough, Loads of Phlegm, Runny/Blocked Nose, Lower Ab Pain, Fever, Joint Aches, my Head feels really tense like its under hogh pressure and its always really hot, yet other parts of my body get cold, all of which came on within a day.
Now I went to the doctor who said it was just a virus and to spend a few days in bed. Its now been 2 days and I feel my symptoms are just getting worse, well more painful anyway! Because of all the phlegm my body is producing, my throat is red raw from coughing and there is so much of this phelgm I sometimes feel like I am choking at night. I have taken some over the counter remedies like all in 1 flu medicines (these contained; decongestant, paracetamol, expectorant) but none of these seem to help much (for a very limited time I feel marginally better but as soon as that wears off im in bad pain again).
So do you guys think I've just got a virus? if so what would be the best course of action to take because im in really serious pain. Thanks. :-(

Get yourself back to the docs asap!
Theres this flu thing going round, LOADS of people are getting it. I got it 4 weeks ago and it went after 3 weeks but now all of a sudden it has come bak but i also get this pain in the side of my head and it feels like my head is pressuired and my cold all of a sudden has come bak and i also have tonsilitis. Which is why my throats sore and i cant stop coughing. Mine started of a virus but not sure yet. I got doctors tomorrow and il ask and il let you no. but i think u should go bak to the doctors. if they dnt do nank got to the hospital.
I went to the doctor yesterday with the same symptoms...cough, runny nose, phlegm running down the back of my throat making a severe sore throat, headache when I laid down and finally a fever and cold sweats. He said it was a virus, gave me some decongestant that didn't help and said it would take a week to go away. I'm looking online now for natural remedies for this throat - ouch!! Good luck. I think we're just stuck with it till it goes away.
I've had the same thing, going into the 3rd week now. My doc said that it was a virus (she had it too). I was given antibiotics and an inhaler along with a recommendation for over the counter cough meds. I don't have asthma and have never wheezed in my life until I had these coughing fits all night. I only used the inhaler once. A couple of people in my office and several at my church have had the same thing. The guy who sits by me is no longer coughing (after 3 weeks). My doc told me that it's been lasting up to 4 weeks for some people. Hope you feel better soon. God bless you.
MMm i have had the same symptons as above and my throat, pain unbearable. I got into the doctors (not mu usual as we are flooded out ). He said what is your main concern i said throat and the amount of mucus I bring up(point of vomiting). Checked me out and gave me an inhaler as well and antibiotics. The inhaler does not seem to work and same with the antibiotics. So I jump on the net to see if there were any answers, and found this forum.
The throat is what is getting to me as I can not swallow, a little scarred of going to sleep when I can. Doctors......................lets take a guess.

Try benelyn mucus relief for the phlegm it seriously helps me as i get bad case of phlegm every year :cry:
looks like over a year ago has come back to hit me now! whooo! only 2 days in and if it does get worse i will seriously cry -_- lol just gonna lay still, watch films and drink tea <<< always a good remedy. and thankyou aswell now i know it's just a lovely virus don't think i'll bother with the doctor's unless i still have it after a week :)
Through my experience is to have fresh ginger peeled and chopped into small pieces with few lemon slices, put both of them into big mug then feel it up with boiled water, add up one big iota of tea spoon of pure honey, Manuka is well recommended then take it twice a day for at least one week or more
Make sure to take the first one in the early morning at least half an hour before taking anything else and the second one just before you go to bed
Believe me I have experienced that and I don't think anyone who try the natural remedies that I have just published wouldn't be healed.
Good luck.
