You should consider getting checked for it in case that is what you have.
Cold and flu has plummeted becasue they are far less transmissible then covid.
The flu (as we know them…as far back as we can ascertain) has never caused most of the acute or chronic symptoms that our little sars buddies are doing….it’s an informational disservice to call it a different flu or spread that around. Perhaps disrespectful to those of us who have seen its effects or lost loved ones to it.
Raccoon, if you happen to have omicron or its new sibling, the good thing is that symptoms are usually really mild (and confusing) like this, and you’re also likely to be noncontagious by the time your appointment comes up. Fever is certainly not necessary or always present with this one…headaches seem to be more common, though, and the general malaise and sniffles. Prime time for spring allergies in many places right now, too, which doesn’t help knowing for sure. Unlike the original and delta, this one is way more transmissible but also seems to rid itself in the body much earlier…even better if you’ve already been exposed or have been vaccinated with or without booster. I’d let your doctor’s office make the call, out of respect. Til then, plenty of water and sleep and decent diet, all you can do.
