Sounds like what I have, but no fever.
Its just a run of the mill upper respiratory virus. There are literally millions of them at this point. Nothing to worry about. Cough is a post-viral syndrome and super normal. Just takes time to get over. |

| OP here. Thanks for the responses. I know that the name of the virus doesn't actually matter. But I think it's natural to be curious about what is circulating out there, especially when it's not just a run-of-the-mill cold. This seems different from the respiratory viruses that we are used to seeing in our house (longer course, more severe), so I wondered if others have been experiencing this too, and if so, whether they had any insights. I have it too now, and it's truly horrible. |

| Daughter had this too. Was a douzy. Super high fever for 7-8 days. Er visits they thought strep but nope. Negative for covid rsv and fly. Doctors thought maybe mono, but nope. I got it and got a double ear infection and pneumonia. It was no joke. |

| Adenovirus. It’s popular in the spring. Also, allergies don’t cause fevers. |

| My teen has had similar symptoms since the end of last week - it’s a virus, according to urgent care. We thought it was allergies at first until the nausea started. |

| This just worked its way through our house. I was so fatigued I thought something was wrong with my thyroid meds. Dd had it first, then me, then DH and Ds. Most symptoms are mild, but the fatigue is a sneaky one. |

Yes, it’s misreable. I get it after every cold and need an antibiotic and steroid to stop it. I’ve had a rib fracture too. |
