If It Isn't The Flu, What Is It?

in #health7 years ago

With this being a super charged flu season, what happens if you feel like crap, get tested for the flu and you don't have it, what could it be?

Adenovirus

Adenovrius can cause a wide range of symptoms similar to those of the flu.

Symptoms of the Adenovrius can include:
Common cold
Sore throat
Bronchitis
Pneumonia
Diarrhea
Pink eye (conjunctivitis)
Fever
Bladder inflammation or infection
Inflammation of stomach and intestines (gastroenteritis)
Neurologic disease (conditions that affect the brain and spinal cord)

If you test negative for the flu, ask your doctor to test you for this virus!

For more information or to read about the virus, this is a good article.
