Dina if it's an infection you might want to go get an antibiotic for it. ↑

it feels like a sinus infection.my temperture keeps going up and down up and down but has not gotten over 100.8 so far. ↑

ooops sorry dina...didn't read it properly....didn't notice that you think it may be a sinus infection....yeah...you should go see a doctor....when you have a sinus infection normally your snot is really icky looking...yellow, brown, maybe some blood....and if you tap your cheek bones right by your nose it should hurt alot....

but if you have clear snot, that's usually a good sign that it's not a sinus infection....

if you're worried go see a doc before it gets worse. ↑

i got my fever down and went to walmart to get me some sinus medicine and by the time i got home i could barely make it into the house.my temperture shot up to 101.4 from getting out and about.i am so miserable im here by myself and i have nobody to help me.my snot is clear/yellowish/sometimes bloody and i keep coughing and it hurts my lungs and throat so bad my whole body aches my head feels like it will explode and if i lay down i feel worse.i have no insurance to see a dr.i already have so many ER visits from the past and im so weak now.my stomach even cramps. ↑

sometimes there can be blood too if your nose is really dry and blowing it alot....

yikes....just rest then...hopefully you can find a way to see a doc. you don't have a family doctor?

hope you feel better soon. ↑

i ended up going to the ER last night.i got there at 1:30am and did not get out of there until 5:30am,but turns out i have the flu.yes the nasty flu.all they gave me was tylenol 3 there and vicodine.said it will have to run its course.i still feel so miserable and i have been sick for at least 6 days and have had fever for 3 days now.at the hospital my temp got up to 101.9 and right now it is normal because i bought some otc meds to take for fever.i feel drained.my throat is so sore and so red and kinda swollen from coughing and hacking so much.and my chest hurts every time i cough and i am almost constantly blowing my nose but have the time my nose is so clogged it dont want to blow.i cant sleep because as soon as i lay down i feel like i am drowning from all the crap draining down into my lungs.i feel just awful.i have had no sleep in basically 3 days now. ↑
