He is 6. Started of by saying "his throat feels spicy". Went through the day like it was normal.
This morning he crawled into bed with me and the wife. I heard his breathing, sounded pretty ragged, but the brain didn't process it. Then I woke up 10 minutes ago and immediately went to the medicine cabinet to get him decongestion medicine.
I'm pretty convinced I had the junk in November 2019 (I was flying back and forth to San Francisco and Houston for work). It was hell when the coughing fits started. I'm more than a little worried right now. Could be nothing, but I'm preparing for the worst.
I know we all know the numbers. I know we laugh and joke at folks wearing masks and what not. Hell, we know kids are more likely to survive than adults. But any parent knows when your kid gets sick you stress, and I went from sound asleep to wide-eyed, looking for a respirator.
Sends some prayers my way.
Whenever I start to feel something coming on (like strep, which Ive had enough times to recognize) I take a dropperful of Wild Mountain Harvested Oil of Oregano (vile tasting, MUST dilute with water), which is actually a more powerful antibiotic than most prescription ones. Then I take 10,000mg (yes, a massive dose) of Vit C.
Every time I do this at the immediate onset of symptoms, they are completely gone the next morning and I dont get sick.
But once the cold/flu sets in its too late.
I have NEVER had a flu shot (they MAKE you sick and suppress natural immune function) and haven't been down with any flu for about 15 yrs now.
Not medical advice. Just sharing my experience.
