What's this the symptom of?
) )I noticed it yesterday afternoon in my neckGoldenDelicious said:common things happening commonly, excluding strange exotic illnesses or two separate illnesses at the same time,
neck lymph nodes swollen = infection
chest tight = very sticky phlegm or airways disease exascerbation (ie mild infection pissing your asthma off or something)
general weakness = secondary or tertiary to infection usually
drawn/pale = dehydration/poor eating usually, but may be blood pressure also
youre probably in the early stages of some sort of respiratory infection. keep your fluids up, eat well, rest a bit more than usual, and monitor for the next 24-36 hours, when youre either going to have onset of more defined symptoms or itll pass
a couple Qs:
when did it start?
what was it like when it started?
hows your eating/drinking?
temperature?
any itchiness?
any stress/lack of sleep lately?
any new drugs lately?
been around anyone with bird flu lately? (kidding
(no im not...have you?
for an extended period of timeeh relax, getting the bug that causes pnuemonia doesnt neccessarily mean that itll manifest as pnuemonia. most people get that same bug and its a simple mild chest infection and then it goes away. if youre immunocompromised/old/shit diet/unhealthy bla bla bla its a different story.*MissFit* said:I noticed it yesterday afternoon in my neck
eating same, im not drinking as much.. my glands r so sore.. i think im hotter than normal, I never sleep and that is normal..
I was around someone who just had pnemonia
those symptoms in that timeframe in a patient of this health risk status plus the premise of common things happening commonly, a standard URTI plan for a couple of days and follow up is ampleBrothaBill said:

anyway, like i said - more fluids, more food, more sleep, heat your home a little if possible particularly at night when sleeping, dont go from very warm to very cold areas quickly (best to avoid very cold areas in general), avoid drugs that will take your temperature down too much (paracetamol/acetominophen/aspirin/ibuprofen etc) unless youre very uncomfortable and its interfering with your sleep, and if possible try to get the very sticky phlegm out of your chest (if its there) via steam inhalation (ie hot shower, breathe deeply) or via drugs from your local pharmacy (guaphenesin to help clear the chest, or any other expectorant). warm drinks that do not contain caffiene (otherwise dehydration risk) will help by soothing your throat as well as increasing temperature/bloodflow in the chest/throat, improving immune response and hindering infections reproduction if bacterial in nature.
thatll be $25 or many, many karmas, you pick
