Fergasun Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Anyone else get whatever I'm going through? Combination ear infection, sinus infection, bronchitis (dr. just looked at all of them and gave me antibiotics). Was having a hard time breathing due to coughing/wheezing fits. Now that the medicine I've been taking has helped clear up my inflamed sinuses (too damn slow) it feels like I've still got major drainage going, and I can't stay hydrated. I guess this is what happens when you go east hit 0 degree weather and come back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is what happens when you go east hit 0 degree weather and come back... The temperature change may have lowered your immunity, but it was probably someone on your plane that infected you. BTW, I haven't had anything like that. I usually get some form of cold flu that causes a blockage in my sinuses resulting in a sinus infection. I have so far managed to avoid that this year.

DCsportsfan53 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Whooping cough has been big in Cali lately, I had it a few months ago after some friends came back from Cali with it. Fun times, sounds similar to what you're going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 My Dr. told me to get a whooping cough booster. She used the phrase "pertussis"... until you mentioned it I hadn't made the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Most likely you got a virus, not from the weather. Wash hands, wash hands, wash hands. Biggest carrier of infection. I work in a hospital and I've gotten into such a habit even when I'm not at work of constantly washing my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I usually get some form of cold flu that causes a blockage in my sinuses resulting in a sinus infection. I have so far managed to avoid that this year. This is what I'm trying to get over now. I just woke up from a 12 hour nap. Hopefully that helped.
