It took me a good ten days to recover and now I’m at day 13 and finally feeling like myself.

I did it and it was negative. I couldn't believe it. I am insanely sick.

My child tested negative for influenza and Covid twice on home tests a few weeks ago, then took a turn for the worse and was confirmed with influenza a when I took her in for a Dr visit/lab test. Home tests aren’t reliable.

Ive been sick now for two weeks. Tested negative multiple times for covid and the flu. This is without question the sickest I've been.

My tween daughter had such a high fever for so long that I instacarted a Covid/flu test because I was sure Covid was back at our house to pay a visit. It was flu B, and she was knifed out fast. Looking back she had quiet symptoms for ~3 days before the fever hit (sore joints and headache) but we wrote it off as a change in her sports conditioning routine and weird weather. Now she has really bad sniffles. The worst part was the 102–103 degree fever and it almost went for 72 hours before it finally broke.

My kid got diagnosed with bronchitis but was negative for flu and Covid multiple times. Probably the sickest he’s been in a long time.

It certainly feels like covid but its odd the at home tests are negative for all of us. Bizarre really.

Covid cicada is making its rounds and is already in Virginia.

Flu, COVID and strep all negative. Now cough and lethargic .


What did the doctor do? How did they treat this?

As my symptoms were similar to possibility of strep so wanted to get it tested. Other than testing just palliative treatment was recommended.

This sounds like me. Was your cough phlegmy? Tons of mucus?

Have you had covid before is this worse than that?


I am feeling much better today. Slept well last night. Cough is mostly dry. Never had COVID ( diagnosed by positive test)
