In my efforts to take care of my hypochondriac roommate, who is struggling with a bout of viral fever, I too have contracted the very same illness (comments regarding our "relationship" are unwelcome, TYVM.)
In addition to getting a viral infection, I also seem to have a pus sore Inside my throat, which makes my illness a potent combination of viral and bacterial infections. I was a rather toasty 102 Fahrenheit last evening, which was kept at bay by sitting under a cool shower, with my feet and head cooled with ice. I finally went to the doctor at about nine in the evening, who prescribed me a whole plethora of antibiotics to keep the infection(s) at bay.
In retrospect, all I can say is that this sort of thing was bound to happen, given that I did not fall sick at all during my Amrika stay. Not falling ill weakens you from within, and coming back to a land rife with all manner of illnesses is somewhat perilous.
I hope to back on my feet in a couple of days.
