It seems like I've had a cold since Easter.... the symptoms ease of and are now back again in force. The Doc reckons it's not bronchitis because I do not have a fever and my lungs sounded fairly good..... So what's the difference between all these ailments ?
The common cold (also known as nasopharyngitis, acute viral rhinopharyngitis, acute coryza, or a cold) Common symptoms include a cough, sore throat, runny nose, and fever. There is currently no known treatment that shortens the duration; however, symptoms usually resolve spontaneously in 7 to 10 days, with some symptoms possibly lasting for up to three weeks.
Right so that means my first three week period of recovery has run into another period........
The flu is a contagious infection of the nose, throat, and lungs caused by the influenza virus. In temperate climates, influenza A usually arrives between early winter and early spring. Influenza B can appear at any time of the year.The most common way to catch the flu is by breathing in droplets from coughs or sneezes. Less often, it is spread when you touch a surface such as a faucet handle or phone that has the virus on it, and then touch your own mouth, nose, or eyes.Symptoms appear 1 - 7 days later (usually within 2 - 3 days). Because the flu spreads through the air and is very contagious, it often strikes a community all at once, causing an epidemic illness.
Bronchitis is inflammation of the main air passages to the lungs. Bronchitis may be short-lived (acute) or chronic, meaning that it lasts a long time and often recurs. Often developing from a cold or other respiratory infection, acute bronchitis is very common. Chronic bronchitis, a more serious condition, is a constant irritation or inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, often due to smoking.
Pneumonia is a common disease that occurs in all age groups. It is a leading cause of death among the young, the old, and the chronically ill
So it looks as if I just have a rotten ordinary old cold.....and need lots of fluids....

Your'e right ! I HAD LOWERED RESISTANCE DUE TO WORK STRESS.... THIS WAS THE LAST DROP IN THE BUCKET AND i'VE DESIDED TO RETIRE AT THE END OF aUGUST!
As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from Pneumonia , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My husband was diagnosed of Pneumonia in 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have headaches , and he always complain of sore throat . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to Pneumonia . I never imagined Pneumonia has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. Pneumonia has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks admin for such an informative blog.
