gofish Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It starts with a sore throat and quickly spreads a fiery path deep down in your lungs with fevers, chills, and the killer cough.Symptoms are lasting up to 3 weeks with a chance of relapse.A respiratory virus has hit my town hard.The doctors offices and ER are swamped.Most of my coworkers have it or are starting to feel it coming on.Son came down with it Thursday. I got it Friday, Dh Saturday and DD2 Sunday. It has triggered my asthma and Dh is sleeping upright on the sofa so he can breath at night. This is a very nasty virus. Quote Link to comment

Jeepers Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Sounds very nasty. And contagious! Quote Link to comment
Suncat Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Generally Elderberry and Ginger are good antivirals.. and pineapple and ginger are good antiinflammatories and so reduce the swelling in airways and nasal passages.. you can get capsules.. but pineapple makes an awesome smoothie with some fresh ginger grated into it.
