I'm in really bad pain. My head is stuffed up, so is my nose. I've been achey all over, my head hurts. I've been so cold, yet so hot at the same time. I also have no appetite and my throat is killing me, feels like I have a ball in the back of my throat. I'm light headed and dizzy, I don't now what's wrong. Do you? Please help.
xokristabelle answered Wednesday May 31 2006, 11:27 am: It's either a cold, strep, allergies, or a sinus infection. Take some advil or cold medicine...if nothing works it's probably a sinus infection. Even if you can't go to the doctor, sometimes they can diagnose you over the phone.
helpachick answered Wednesday May 31 2006, 10:31 am: Rest. Rest. Rest. sounds like you have the flu, fever maybe, etc. what you need to do is take advil or motrin, drink some 7up or something, and sleep. even if you can't sleep just lay in bed or on your coach with a movie or something and rest. xoxo helpachick. get better soon!

Eustachius answered Wednesday May 31 2006, 2:43 am: Ok... what you're talking about sounds like the general bug that's been going around. I have it even, I feel a bit the same way right now. It looks like a cold, to me... But along with that a light flu. That's as best I can guess...
What I would do about it is get liquids in you. If you dehyrate yourself, you're going to be in a lot worse shape than you are. If you don't feel like drinking water, get some ginger ale, but stir it to get some of the carbonation out so it doesn't bother your stomach. Some vitamin C and echinacea will go a long way as well. But the most important thing by far is REST. Stay away from foods that will bother your throat, too. Dairy tends to build up mucus, so I would stay away from milk and ice cream.
It should go away in a couple days, these things always do. But until it does, take it easy. Rest up, and make sure you don't dehydrate yourself.
