No, no one here knows what it is. Go see a doctor and stop wasting our time. |

Do you know how to read? For the throat swab you can't eat or drink for 1 hour. Don't be stupid. |

I think it is an adenovirus. I'm reading a lot about it.
https://www.phillymag.com/be-well-philly/2025/12/17/sore-throat-virus-philadelphia I just got over this. It lasted a full 14 days. The first three I really felt sick; then after that I just felt crummy but could go back to work. The worst thing was the painful sore throat. Some coughing and congestion, but not horrible. But the sore throat was the worst and it only went away around day 10. Urgent care tested negative for flu, strep and Covid. I've been teaching elementary for over 30 years so I have stopped getting most of the common cold viruses. (which I think can be caused by either adenovirus or rhinovirus? Either way, I have had most of them over the years so I seldom get sick from the kids anymore.) |
