Hey people..
my name is Juan im 38 years old and pretty healthy overall .. never really had health problems in the past but lyme disease about 2 years ago witch has been under control by doing test every year.
About a month ago i developed a cold or cold like symptoms , the classic runny nose , sore throat and body aches .. never fever or caught or any other symptoms .. after 2 weeks i finally saw a family doctor , he did noticed inflamed throat and did a test for strep throat that came out negative ,. he told me to rest , drink fluid , salt water gargles etc.. since then its been on and off .. some days i feel ok and some days i just spend the whole day in bed like if i had a cold again .. like my body its fighting something ..
in 2 days its going to be a month of this and im starting to freak out .. I made an app with a sinus specialist but they wont see me for a month because of course all this corona virus going on now in NYC .
I stared doing saline spray twice a day and i do feel like theres a lot of mucus coming out .. just transparent so that rules out any antibiotics i guess..
today i woke up super fatigue and worried and i dont know what else to do ..
should i go to the hospital .. any advice will be very appreciate it .. my anxiety level starting to peak
many thanks !
be safe guys !

It sounds like you may have a vital infection or you're experiencing some type of autoimmune reaction. Have you been experiencing any sudden stress unrelated to this or changed anything in your diet? I'm a registered nurse

Try eat ginger, raw ginger. If it still doesn't help, go see doctor.

Your symptoms remind me of hayfever: but I know you don't have hayfever. I think your body is allergic to something, in the way that pollen causes a runny rose and cold-like symptoms in hayfever. Perhaps there is something similar to pollen in your body - although NOT pollen. I realize I am coming out badly with this potential diagnosis. But I do think your body is telling you there is something you're allergic to. Your body is fighting it by making you have cold-like symptoms. Again, I am likening it to hayfever.

I'm afraid I'm not a doctor BUT I do think my advice could have value.

Do not panic, it doesnt seem like something that is life threatening. Try cold and flu medication. Consult a pharmacist too. Good luck.
