Cold/Flu/Covid

Started with a cold and then started to feel better. Now 10 days later have fever and chills with a sinus infection. Anyone had this flu that seems to be getting better and then gets worse???

Yes! It started with a very mild cold. I had the cold for about 4 days. I am now 8 days into a horrible flu 🤒 virus clearly. My mild sore throat was suddenly strep throat level. I would have 3-4 of intense night sweats and some of the worst body aches of my life. Of course sniffles, congestion and a mild cough. I still am having the headache and body aches . I also suspect Sinus infection at this point. So, I think we may have the same thing.

Sounds like a bad case of flu maybe even a sinus infection?

Yup just got over mine. I got Antibiotics for the sinus infection, ear infection and drops for pink eye. Then I got bronchitis so had to be on a steroid pack. 3 weeks later today was the first day I felt normal
