1. i think you have mono2. just take it easy you might just have a bad cold
3. no home remedy but go see a doctor
4. Sounds like the flu. Just get some rest and drink lots of fluids juices etc. Gargle with warm salt water to help your throat.
5. my familly remedy: 1 cup of hot mint tea (or regular just add a mint to it) 1 tbls of honey, 1 regular dose of nyquil added to it, and one tablet of airborn. I swear it works and it is safe to take together. drink it 2-3 times a day for two days. It will be gone.
6. look in your throat for white spots,that means strep and u need antibiotics. otherwise motrin every 6 hours for discomfort and liquids lots. for nausea keep to a all clear diet for a day, if u can see thru it u can have it
7. Thoughts.
Someone mentioned mono. Mono is a bacterial infection & if you have that or suspect a bacterial infection such as strep throat then I would see a physican. Antibiotics will help.
2) If its not a bacterial infection then you have a viral infection. They are the only 2 possibilities.
Listen, it would be very hard but if you could FAST, drink only water,stay in bed and rest, take a couple of hot showers a day,eat some raw garlic as much as you can handle & drink hot green tea (NO SUGAR.SUGAR CAUSES INFLAMMATION) This would be ideal. (All a virus is,is your body trying to eliminate toxins. In other words your body is trying to do a house cleaning & if you let nature take its course your body will thank you so much for it. All medications do are suppress the symptoms and thus you never fully expel the toxins that your body is desperately trying to eliminate. I can explain more on this concept if your interested.Simply email me.(and remember if you go this route fasting is instrumental,for if you don't fast you will feel sicker for more days.This method u should be over it in 2 to 3 days tops if you do the above.You will be much better for it physically.
That said, If symptoms r too much. I understand. I would suggest.
1 Eat as light as possible(trust me on this one!!!)
2 At least 2 hot showers a day to raise your body temperature & will help expel toxins.
3 Those anti inflammatory meds like Advil can help. I have also had success with Vicks Niquil
4 Eck a nassia (My spelling is way off.I pronounced it for you. It's a all natural herb that if you take when the virus is at its first stages will probably help greatly. Must buy it in a standardized form or your wasting your money.Get at GNC or most pharmacy's and all health food stores.(Dont take with over counter meds.) Get someone to go for you if you feel shaky
5)If a you see a physican & he helps you determine its a virus and not a bacterial infection then please dont waste your time asking for an antibiotic. IT CANT HELP YOU,cuz they only work on bacteria infections.Thus called anti-biotic. All docs know this but give them any way for a virus cuz they know that is what the people want: A script.
Above all,listen to your body. Your body and mind know what works best for you. I tried the first concept I mentioned 15 years ago and I was not ready for it emotionally. I then took some Vicks Niquil and aspirin and was like "Thank you.Relief!"
Best Wishes,
