Sick again. Greeaaattt

[brancsikia339]

So about two weeks ago i got an appendectomy. While on the mend, i caught a virus from my brother- only i got hit ten times harder. It's called coxsackievirus. It started on Sunday. I slept all day and when I woke up I could barely stand and had a fever of 101.2. My dad continued to give me tylenol and motrin and advil and such. About two hours later, 10:30 pm, I was so cold i had to wear two blankets. I had a fever of 103.9 and my parents said that to the touch i felt boiling hot. I used cold compresses and took a temperate bath. Though the bath wasn't cold, to me it felt like I had joined the polar bear club. It was so cold to me that I could barely stand it. So I got out of the bath (Just to let you know, i was so delirious i could barely walk, so i needed my parents to help me) dried off and went to rest without the blankets on. We continued the medication whenever i could take it. By 1:30 in the morning, my temp was down to 102.5 and dropping. Yesterday morning, the fever was gone, but the worst had just begun. We went to the doctors, and all i had was a mild sore throat. He sent us home with a clean bill of health. Over the day, my sore throat worsened. My temperature fluctuated all day between 98 and 101. By last night my throat was so bad I couldn't swallow anything. Not even my own spit. Apparently, when you have coxsackievirus you get blisters in your mouth and throat. I went to sleep trying not to swallow. I thought it couldn't get any worse. I was TOTALLY wrong. Today I woke up and my tongue had blisters. So did my gums and my inner lip. The whole day i went through this hellish pain. My mom took us out for ice cream and I couldn't even eat that. It felt like i was swallowing liquid magma. It hurts so much right now i can't even explain in words. I couldn't eat my dinner tonight and I struggle to drink water. Wish me luck

Man-0-man, you need to get some rest little bud, sleep is probably the best thing for you now.

Only problem is the pain is so bad that i can barely sleep. Remember, we all have to swallow our spit and it kills me just to do that

That sounds awful! I'm sorry to hear this Andrew, it sounds really bad...try to sleep like Nick said, it's your body's way of healing...and try to keep eating through the pain you need nutrients at a time like this! Feel better!

that sucks!! cant u put something in your mouth to numb it like a firebelly toad or a wasp or a great product called muscle mist it helps numb your mouth or go to the dentist and they can give u wax stuff u spread over the inside of your mouth and it helps numb everything...

 

[dlemmings]

definitely all the water you can painfully force down, also a product called emergen-C the citric acid may not be fun but it helps when I get a bug.

probably you are too young for a warm toddy...lol

I managed to eat some ice cream, which coated my throat, and now i feel alot better! But i'm still in for it. Going to be spending my week drinking milk and eating ice cream. Not so bad, eh?

I hope it heals fast. My daughter had it once, but it didn't shut her up one bit. The fever was the worst part for her. It seems like you are already past the worst of it.

probably you are too young for a warm toddy...lol

Mmmmm, warm toddy! I'm perfectly healthy and I may have to make one of those now
