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?

COVID test kits 7-11, BigC about 30-40bht.

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.

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).

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.

No idea. Only been in Bangkok.

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).

Very interesting. Well my symptoms are almost similar as yours but I have almost no fever. Just two time I had very short fever of 38C but after that just 37C. OK I will probably ask them to do test for typhoid fever as well.

Do the hospitals in Thailand have good doctors available during weekend as well or is it better to wait for monday?

I'm assuming you're in Bangkok where, yes, they have good doctors any day of the week.

 

Finding 'a good doctor' however can be tricky. Make sure you tell any doctor you see what antibiotics you have already taken, and ask for specific blood tests. Don't assume they will test for things if you don't ask.

 

There's a test for a liver enzyme called CRP (C-reactive protein), the level of which can indicate bacterial infection (mine was waaaaay up but now coming down).

 

Good luck.

Thanks a lot for your advice. Really appreciated. I am in Pattaya and I am already waiting at Banglamung Hospital. I hope they will accept my list of tests.

I have asked them for antibodies test for typhoid fever, mycoplasma pneumonia and chlamydia pneumonia. They said they cannot do any of them. Not sure if some other hospital can do them but Banglamung cannot. 😢

Wrong. Fake "information"

As I have posted on many occasions in response to his potentially dangerous and misleading posts he posts whatever his/it's tinfoil hat decides to transmit!

'What did all the people die of according to you during the "COVID outbreak?'' Research the data why don't you? Too much MSM for you bud.

I never said what anybody died of "according to me"!

I was quoting  extremely numerous other sources stating that the cause of death was whatever was stated on the deceased's death certificate!

Their doctor/physician etc stated what they died of on their death certificate!

Their declarations, not mine!

 

I wonder how many declarations by those doctor/physician etc were involved?

Are you saying they are ALL FALSE!?
