Sent to Health Experts October 14 11:12 PM

I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WHAT I THINK IS A HEAD/CHEST COLD FOR A WEEK NOW. FOR THE LAST 3 NIGHTS I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A FEVER OF 101. MY FEVER IS NORMAL, 96.8, ALL DAY UNTIL AROUND 3-4 P.M. THEN I START ACKING IN MY JOINTS, MY HEAD FILL DIM, I GET THE CHILLS AND SHAKES, AND I SLOW WAY DOWN IN ENERGY. ALSO, MY LUNGS FEEL HEAVEY.

Hi Customer (name blocked for privacy)

You may have a virus, and it will resolve within a week. Most people's temperatures go up in the evening, but 101 is a bit high. If it isn't gone in 5-7 days, or you get to feeling worse, you will want to see a doctor for possible infection that would need antibiotics.

Hope this helps,

Kerry

Reply to Kerry's Post: KERRY, THANKS FOR THE REPLY. I AM WONDERING IF I INHALED SOMETHING FROM THE HOUSE WE JUST MOVED INTO. I TOOK ALL THE CURTAINS DOWN AND THEY WERE QUITE DUSTY, PLUS THERE WAS MOUSE FECAS ALL AROUND. THIS IS NOT A SIGN OF SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS, IS IT.

Well, it sure could be, and you will know if it doesn't go away in 5-7 days.

It could certainly be allergies.

Yes, mouse feces can cause disease, and it's worth bringing up to your doctor as a possibility. I do suggest you wear a mask when doing this cleaning. Only to prevent dust and other things from getting in your lungs.

I hope you feel better soon!
