Been with this random virus my son got from daycare for 3 weeks only thing you able to do is tea ginger lemon honey / humidifier with vicks drops and a lot of warm showers to get all the congestion out also stay hydrated

+1, my son got RSV last week and now I have a horrible cold 😩 lemon, honey and a lot of fluids, ugh hope next week's is going to get better.

Me! Haven’t tested for influenza or RSV because it won’t change the treatment but my son and i are going through it. I haven’t missed a day of work in 3 years and i had to call out three days this week. It’s SO brutal. Not being able to use a lot of the over the counter meds really is killin me! Lots of chicken noodle soup and showers where I just sit on the ground and breathe in the steam! ~this too shall pass~ is my motto but it’s been brutal….
Also had norovirus over Christmas so i am just down and out these past few weeks!

Yes, it’s brutal. I had it at 31wks.
Take paracetamol every 4-6hrs. Drink plenty of fluids and sleep/rest as much as possible.
Feel better soon.

Also steam inhalation will help
