This seems to be going around... my son/ daughter in law, daughter, and sister have all had it.

Bad headache, barely swallow...heavy heavy phlegm and weakness.
But the tests for covid come back negative

Did they get strep or RSV testing?

Those are my symptoms as well.

I figure I have a bacterial infection so since I have some Doxy I am taking it.

It hurts so bad to swallow I don’t even want to drink anything

could be RSV ... it can make folks much sicker than the recent stains of covid-19 ... and it can easily provoke secondary sinus infections and/or go down into the lungs and cause either pneumonia viral or bacterial pneumonia ...

if either a bacterial sinus infection or a bacterial pneumonia takes hold, powerful antibiotics are in order ...

note that azithromycin usually will no longer touch sinus infections, which can generally be quickly cured with Augmentin ... i think the same thing is true for bacterial pneumonia ...

btw, either of those two infections will make you feel EXTREMELY ill, and produce massive green gunk in the sinuses and massive gunk in the lungs ...
