Thank you! Just the sort of common sense answer I was hoping for. I'll rest easier tonight for knowing so it's a bigger deal than you might think.

Hi Keith

That's how this crud I've got started. Cold for a couple of days, then spiked a 102 fever for a couple of days. Ibuprofen every 4 hours and lots and lots of fluids! Stay in bed and if the fever doesn't break, call the doc. In my case, I called the doc! Sinus infection! Yep, that would be me!!!

I hope you feel better soon!

l. LOTS of Fluids,
2. Tylenol or like Advil
3. If vomiting, use suppositories. (Used for one of my kids, no big deal)
4. I do recommend luke-warm baths (But don't shiver) if temp. spikes. In a bath or not, be aware of your temperature. What's best for you?
5. Easy to digest foods if need to eat. Doctor for kids always recommended BRAT diet - Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast. I did cracers, broth soups, my mom gave crackers with peanut butter as I got well.
5. Lots of bad TV, repeats of old shows, Movies you know - if you can find them.

Having kids is good training. Never lost one

Thanks for all the concern peeps! Much appreciated. Slept about 12 hours last night (I admit I didn't set the alarm and check my temp ) and woke up sans the fever TG. Lot's of liquids today and a trip the doc at 1:30. I'm pretty sure it's a sinus infection due to the really gross stuff coming out of my nose. Bad part is the numbness in the right side of my body. I knew that fever wasn't gonna result in anything good. I hope it goes away before it qualifies as a relapse. I don't think I could take the roids right now.

THANK THE LORD that I'm not puking.
