Repeatedly testing negative for Covid, Flu A/B, RSV etc. Lungs clear. Doc says bllood work suggests bacterial infection so just started antibiotics yesterday. Still running a low-grade fever, lower back pain, coughing up shed-loads of green gunk. But at least no pulsing headache (finally).

I have very similar symptoms like you and I have been sick for almost a month now. I feel like <deleted>. Had 3 different antiobiotics (just finished last one) but now have extreme throat pain. Not sure what to do. I don't trust the doctors here anymore. By the way, where did you test for Covid, Flu and RSV and how much was it?

Did you read the whole post? He got tested for Covid, Flu A/B and RSV virus. Obviously Covid test kit will not test for the other viruses.

I've answered 33% of his question, you can answer the other 67%.

Your 33% is useless and if I could answer the other part then I am not asking at all.

You can get test kits nowadays at most pharmacies that test for Covid / Flu / RSV. Think it was THB 119 or something like that.

 

Postscript to my story is that I didn't feel any better after two days of antibiotics, went to see a different doctor and tested positive for typhoid fever. Needed IV antibiotics as it had started to have a go at my liver. So now I'm in hospital, albeit feeling much better and leaving tomorrow.

 

Maybe get blood tests for things like typhus / typhoid?

Thanks for the tip, I was checking the symptoms and I don't have any stomach issues and also no fever. I will wait a couple of days and if I don't get better I will have to go to doctor again.

There is no test for covid or the flu. Learn to read yer own body.

 

Waste of money. Better to go to the market and buy the three 'g's. Garlic, ginseng and ginger.

I didn't have any stomach issues - still don't - and only had intermittent low-grade (no more than 100F/38C) fever. I wouldn't have considered typhoid based on the symptoms I had (feeling really run down, runny nose for two days, then a sore throat for half a day, a headache for 5 days, lots of phlegm, backache etc).

If you get typhoid, do come back and tell us how home treatment with garlic, ginseng and ginger worked for you.
