    I don't know if its flu or allergies. Started with a sore throat Tuesday night, then coughing, sneezing, runny nose, all over achey. Felt like shit Wednesday, felt a little better yesterday and went out and did some stuff then last night was horrible. The sore throat is the worst thing. Felt a little better this morning and now I'm starting to feel really bad again. I've coughed and sneezed so much my ribs hurt.

    How long will this last?

    may be a sinus infection draining down the back of your throat brought on by allergies. If it is not better in 5 days, you probably need an antibiotic.

    My sore throat has turned into random sneezing and coughing fits. Worse when I lay down. Makes sleeping a lot of fun. Sore throat persists since Monday. Third day of Amoxicillin. 7 more to go. If it's not better by Monday, I'm calling in sick to work. :D

    avoid the booze near antibiotic time. Penicillin based antibiotics are often inactivated if mixed with alcohol.

    There was a time when I felt like a damn drug machine when I was pumping BOTH of our boys full of Amoxicillin. Infections suck.

    Patti,

    By now I hope you have gone to the doctor. You need an antibiotic. If you haven't gone, go.

    i agree. if it started tuesday and it is still no better, your body needs a bit of help getting rid of it.
