I didn’t have any other symptoms though so it was just more annoying than anything else. But yesterday my nose began all stuffy and running. I didn’t feel well at all in the monring but in the afternoon I felt better and it was so nice out I went for a 2 hour walk. Today Im still feeling bad, stuffy/running nose sore throat and achy. But anyway I was wondering if I should continue exercising while feeling this way or is it better to rest? Or maybe just doing some stretching/light yoga?

oh i probably should go to the doctor, I dread going to the doctor here mainly because I don’t have one here at school and I just have to go to the school health center. I actually am thinking I might have post-nasal drip in which case ill probably be put on anitbiotics, oh joy!
And thanks for the advice everyone, ive been taking vitamin C like crazy. Ill have to get me some gralic though.
thanks for the info on the antibiotics, from what ive heard my school loves to prescribe z-pak for everything and im pretty sure its one of those short coarse antibiotics. Anyway I guess I will try to set up an appointment.
so i went to the school health center – the doctor told it doesn’t look like i have strep (he didn’t do any test for it) but just in case he gave me some antibiotics (amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium) and told me to take claritin D. He didn’t really say what he thought I had, just a lot of nasal drainage irritating the throat.
thanks so much for the link! I only skimmed it right now and bookmarked it for later. Ive mainly been making juices but tomorrow ill try to stick to just water….would an herbal tea be ok too or just warm water with lemon?
Yeah, greenie I rested today well except when i went to the health center. And I worked some on a review packet for a test on thrusday. Tomorrow I have to go to my classes though but after that I will come home and rest. And im going to bed as soon as I finish this. And thanks everyone I know I will be better very soon.
