So several weeks ago I mentioned getting sick. I waited 10 days before calling the Dr. office. The nurse called back and I explained from beginning what was going ln, welcome to the flu. Too late for Tami flue hang in there for 2 weeks. Well week 6 I'm still coughing tired and having issues. I waited because I do feel better than before and had a regular Dr appointment yesterday. I'm not better I'm now on a high dose of azithromycin for several secondary infection caused by ,Dr description " mother of all flu's " From carbuncles to bronchitis.
Apparently very serious stuff that had I been less healthy could have possibly killed me, so apparently I got a carbuncle in a nose hair follicle that weakened my system (staph infection)and one developed on the roof of my mouth then the flu came in but because my immune system was already fighting two things as the flu eased up the staph. infection I still had, caused the bronchitis. My problem is usually this is accompanied by fever. Well I have to have a foot in the grave before seeing a fever for most anything. My body temp runs low normally.
I tell you this because sometimes what we think is something as simple as a sore in your nose ,might not be. Don't always take a nurses word over the phone as gospel. Go in and get checked out. I'd never heard the term carbuncle before yesterday. He took one look at my nose and mouth and wrote the perscription. Even though sore had gone away they left scaring and the staph infection is still in my system. Because of the original nose area this could have traveled to my brain ,blood stream, liver, lungs. Heal thy self isn't always too smart. So just be aware out there especially for people like us that are out side . Soil,plant debris carry all kinds of pathogens,we tend to get nicks, scrapes, bug bites. All these things can possible introduce unwanted bacteria, fungi, ect ect.
