Still sick today... doc put me on augmentin. Guess he thinks I got the pig flu. Fever, pain all over and hard to breathe. Anyone else on 3T get the pig flu?
Hey Scott...Rest up amigo...if your doctor put you on augmentin, your swine flu very well have turned into a lower respiratory infection (especially based on the symtoms that you are having).
My family has had H1N1 (me and the kids) except for my wife who is a nurse and was able to get the H1N1 vaccine well before any of us commoners were able to get the vaccine. When I had it, I had the aches and pains and the longest running fever I've ever had (lasted a full 3 days!!)
H1N1 is a virus, and thus, antibiotics like augmentin will do nothing to help the swine flu specifically...but, having the swine flu can highly weaken your immune system and especially if you have been sick for quite a while, you can easily get secondary bacterial infections like a lower respiratory infection which it sounds like you've got based on the symptoms.
I sympathize with you Scott...take your full course of augmentin (don't stop taking the pills when you start feeling better) and get lots and lots of rest!!!
Hope you are feeling better soon!!!!
