There are a lot of pandemics that are happening now. We have walking pneumonia, bird flu, COVID 19 and Norovirus and measles, Flu A. Not really anyone is talking about this either. We are under censorship pretty much and no one is allowed to cover much of it.
Wear your masks, wash your hands and be aware of your surroundings. Take safety precautions to keep you and your family safe, especially those with immune compromise. Watch the things you eat and watch the recalls. If you want some relief, try taking allergy medications because it helps with the congestion, runny nose and a few other things.
Bird flu can happen if you do not cook your chicken and eggs fully thoroughly so be sure it is cooked. Chicken is done when it hits 165 degrees internally. Eggs are done when they are not running. Yes, bird flu is currently spreading through beef and other things including pets so be mindful and be warned.
Bird flu H5N1: Does not really spread from human to human but only from chicken to humans. It causes fevers, coughs, sore throats, achy muscles and pneumonia.
Needing to find out recalls here this post has a link to an app that gives recall notices. Very helpful!
FLU A: Contains weakness, body aches, chills, cough, and a lot of other things. Right now it is attacking children and a lot of them this is making it difficult for them to walk and do their everyday things. It can also cause ear infections, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, pain in the abdomin, chest pains, pneumonia, bronchitis, stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, headache and body aches.
Anyone can catch it including animals.
Norovirus: contains diarrhea, and vomiting and really bad stomach issues. It can also cause a low grade fever. It takes 12-48 hours to start showing symptoms but then it lasts 1-3 days kind of like a stomach bug. It comes from food, water, infected people and surfaces in which it can survive for weeks.
Covid: is a really bad common cold but it makes you feel like you have the flu. It has a wet cough that converts to a dry cough. COVID takes away your taste buds and smell and can make everything taste salty and bad. It can also make you lose your appetite. It can also cause shortness of breath and respiratory distress. Covid spreads through respiratory droplets, someone coughing, sneezing, and or talking. It can also be on a touch base where you pick it up from touching things.
Measles: High fever, cough, runny nose, red and watery eyes, rash, coughing, sneezing, and small white spots in the mouth ( this does not happen all the time.)
I have had COVID 19 7 times now. My family is currently dealing with it and the pneumonia and the norosvirus and it it suck.
Right now we are combating it with cough medications, congestion medications to help with the congestion because after coughing a while, you will start aching in pain not wanting to cough.
We are taking a tea spoon of raw honey to help with it and attempt to help build up parts of the immune system.
We are also taking Ibprohen, Tylenol and advil to help with the fever and any pain we may experience. The kids are taking Motrin and tylenol to help them.
The cough medications did not help clear it up as much but my kid had a rash that looks like an allergic reaction to something and we gave him allergy medications and he cleared up quickly. I took allergy medications and I felt way better and the only symptoms that I have is my little cough and a itchy throat. My congestion left and my nose stopped running and I now feel better. I highly recommend getting some allergy medications because it can help. It helps break down the congestion, and the runny nose and a few of the other symptoms.
We notice it started with a cough and a runny nose, then it went from that to a low grade fever. From the low grade fever it then moved over to wet cough, body aches, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Then my kids developed a rash on her face. The other kid then developed a spotty rash that looked kind of like a honey comb shape. We though it was something he got into so we quickly gave him an Epsom salt bath and then used non allergic bar soaps that was made of oats. After his bath we gave him some allergy medications his doctor prescribed him because he and I both have severe seasonal allergies and I am glad she did give him that because it came in handy right now it cleared up all of his symptoms. He had a little dry cough but that was about it.
