Ok well whatever hit me a couple nights ago is back but still no fever above 100. Just feel warm/cold, body aches and clammy, a little discomfort in my chest/ribs. And it only last a few hours. Any ideas??? I don’t seem to be getting the bad stuff (knock on wood) the rest of my family (positive for influenza a) got that lasted for days with very high fevers.

Hello. Thank you for your response. My two girls ages 1&2 were positive for influenza a. My husband was down for 2 days straight as well as them. I was tested twice different days and both came back negative. I do have a viral bronchitis with no signs of pneumonia and have healthy lungs and heart they said. It just worries me I guess that I may have a different virus or my immune system must be fighting it off better. I have been experiencing random fevers still and getting really hot and sweaty just sitting down.

Remember if they test you to early you will come back negative. See if you can get tested again. Best way for testing is a swab up nose canal. All ur symptoms def are the flu. Plus ur family was positive. Problem is antivirals only will help first 48. Remember the antivirals are extremely strong. Don't use them if u don't need them. Watch ur bronchitis. It could easily travel. I have been studying the flu strains for 8 years and you have the flu. The sweats and ur symptoms for sure. So urself a favor and get a mask for ur nose and mouth. Maybe I'm wrong but I doubt it. Just in case u do have a new germ you don't want to spread to ur family but I'm 99 percent you have flu. Good luck and keep me posted.

Bronchitis does not give fevers. It's all in ur chest. It's just coughing. You may have two virus going on and that's why you are negative for flu. Because they are picking up cells from the other virus. Bronchitis is not a virus it is a symptom of sickness especially from the flu.

If ur better already then it's definitely not the flu. Even with a flu shot u still would have symptoms. Remember flu shots take the flu down 10-30 Percent
