Long story short, I babysit a 17 month old. Her sister got sick and then in turn got me and the baby sick. (despite my Lysol, hand sanitizer and go wash your hands efforts)
With H1N1 going around, I’m a little nervous about my symptoms.
I have a horrible dry cough, pains in my chest, i get winded walking ten steps, stuffy nose, and suddenly I’m very dizzy. Also, my temperature has been climbing steadily over the last two hours from 97.9 to 100.1.
What does this sound like? Should I be concerned or will my regular cold/flu meds and routine (rest, fluids) do the trick?
Also, going to the doctors is out of the question because my doctor is moving to a new practice and our files are no longer in their systems and I cant pick them up until Thursday.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Read up on eating fresh garlic for the flu. It is an antibacterial/antiviral/anti-fungal herb. It was used as an antibiotic in World War I. And unlike antibiotics, it also works on viruses like the flu. Try to eat 2 or 3 cloves a day until you are well… uncooked.
Hi you need to go see a doctor as this could be pneumonia. You can go to any doctor in the US and not have to have your records with you or transferred. You just need to fill out a form is all. What you are describing sounds like pneumonia and if that is the case you need to be seen. Don’t put it off as even though this is the modern days pneumonia can still kill. Good Luck.
Sounds like you have a common cold. Watch for other symptoms like high fever and sever body aches.
