I have a cold or allergy and have had it for 5 days. It started with sore throat and then left there and went into my sinusus with my nose running clear constantly. Use breathrite at night. Last night it moved out of my sinuses and back into my throat and I coughed a few times but no need for breathrite strip......I slept 3 to 4 hr. Stretches. I have had allergies in the past but not for 5 years and no colds for that time either! I believe I could have caught the bug from my husband who was sickin Hawaii for 2 weeks and when we got back to Calgary, he went to the. Gr. and was told it was a nasty virus and he would have symptoms for another 3 weeks.......after the dr. Apt we headed into the states and are now in Yuma. I started taking Allegra for indoor and outdoor allergies - 12 hr relief so usually at 9 am and 9 p.m. I was feling better today but a few hours ago I was sweating and took my temp....102, I am think inking I will not take the Allegra tonight and see what happens........I have also been taking extra strength pain reliever (500 mg) every 6 hours. I will take it tonight as I can now start to feel doer throat.....there has been lots of sneezing going on. I w I ll take my temp in the morning. If still 102 or higher I will go and get checked......I am in Yuma, Arizona. I am 72 yrs old and in good basic health.....I take 5 mg of Crestor and have for 5 years......am I to continue to take this...I take at bedtime. I get the flu shot every year and had it in sept. Sorry to be so lengthy.....carol
