HELP WHATS WRONG WITH ME!!

[Gageelyse]

I am 17 years old and for the past 2-3 days I have had a sore throat (bad enough that I don't want to eat, drink or even swallow my saliva), fever, body aches, chills, fatigue, and every on e in a while in my brain it feels like everything around me is moving really fast when it is actually moving slow. I have symptoms of strep, the flu, and mono. I don't know how I would have contracted mono though because I don't drink after anyone and I have never kissed anyone. But I am starting to think it may be more. I am kind of going into a panic. I have taken Tylenol - cold and flu at night, ibuprofen during the day, and moxacillin (or whatever the strep medicine is called. Can someone help me find out what's wrong with me or what I should do to quickly recover!

Thanks!

You need to see a doctor -- have you?  Because it could be strep or mono as you say and it could also be tonsillitis.  I'd want to know because these don't go away without help like the flu does.

It sure sounds like the flu to me. Even though you don't want to eat or drink, I encourage you to try doing both. Start with some water, juice, 7-Up, etc. Perhaps munch on some breakfast cereal or saltines. Your body is working hard to fight whatever you have, and it needs fluids and nourishment to do that. I'll bet you'll begin feeling better after giving your body the fuel it needs to whip whatever is ailing you. Other than that, get plenty of rest. When you're not sleeping, find something to do that distracts you from your anxious thoughts. Watch some TV shows on your computer, read a book, etc. You should be feeling better in a day or two. :-)
