Ive been sick for a week whats wrong with me?
Just go to the doctor! It will cost you more money the more you wait! The more you wait the worse it may get, and if you go to the doctor a long time from now, medications may be more expensive because you might be needing more or really special medications! Go! Make an appointment A.S.A.P! Nothing is more important than your health--there is always plenty of money going around in the world, but there's only one of you, and with you being the only you, all you have is your health.
Sick three times in a row!?
You're probably just having 3 different colds or you have a sinus infection. Here is a news article I just recently read: Lingering Cold Symptoms May Mean Sinusitis Saturday, January 3, 2009; 12:00 AM SATURDAY, Jan. 3 (HealthDay News) -- If a stuffy nose and headache persist for more than a week, you may have sinusitis, which often results from the common cold. Each year, about 31 million Americans develop sinusitis, which results in 18 million physician visits and $5.8 billion in overall health costs, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. People with allergies are more likely to develop sinusitis, which is most common in the winter months. "Early on, the symptoms of colds and sinusitis are similar," Dr. Anju Peters, chairman of the academy's rhino-sinusitis committee, said in a news release. "But if symptoms are worsening after three to five days, or if they are present for more than 10 days, then sinusitis is the likely culprit." Sinusitis occurs when cold- or allergy-related inflammation causes blockage of the sinus cavities, hollow areas behind the forehead and cheeks. The blockage prevents normal drainage of mucus, a situation that leads to infection. Symptoms of sinusitis include green or gray nasal discharge, foul tasting post-nasal drip, facial pain or pressure, and light fever. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con... I would suggest some of those saline nasal sprays, I use them sometimes. And drink a good amount of liquids so the secretions in your sinuses will drain better.
I have been sick 8 times this year..I have some questions?
How extensive was the bloodwork? How long do the 'attacks' last? You need to investigate this more extensively and unfortunately, it may mean delaying your police career. But making certain you are not causing permanent damage to yourself is VERY important. While a career is important, good health and long life are a LOT MORE important. You could have a recurring virus, Lyme disease (it hits different people differently), West Nile Virus (which can become West Nile Encephalitis), etc. If you do not figure out what this is, you may cause long-term health issues you will never be able to fix. For example, I have Lyme (actually, I have had Lyme more than once, different strains). Had it not been caught in time, I might have had to have intravenous antibiotics, and still ended up with crippling arthritis in my joints. I was lucky, had a great doctor that followed up with me over the years, etc. So - get a GOOD doctor, get tested and figure this out, before it ends your career permanently.
I've been sick for 3 weeks?
no you really don't need to go to the doctor. what your body is fighting right now is both a virus and bacteria. white means its a virus, green or yellow it means its bacteria. you have BOTH. The best you can do is get lots of rest. Also drink lots of water and ONLY water. cough up all of your phlegm. You can do this by dipping a cotton ball in olive oil and swab the back of your throat lightly, but don't make yourself throw up. congestion can be cured if you drink Ginger(Crush it in a blender and then strain it and drink the juice) or ginsing tea (don't drink the store stuff actually buy the root and brew it) you can also eat plenty of citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruit and pumelo. don't expose your skin when you go outside. also when you go outside ALWAYS wear a hat. its essential to wear a hat because then you head is warm.. When you head is warm if gets everything else warm. the pink eye should go away in time
