My husband is a Parkinsons patient and he has recently contracted a cold type illness. He is stuffed up and congested and has not felt okay in a couple weeks. I was out of town for three days and came home expecting to see him feeling better but in fact his situation has not changed much. Today, he was okay in the morning but after a brief outing/visit with family he is feverish 101.7. He has a deep sounding congested cough and is not interested in eating; this is a big flag to me because he LOVES to eat. He is 6 2 , 185 lbs and in generally good health despite his Parkinson s affliction. I am concerned because his symptoms have not changed in the 4 days I was out of town.
