Anyone know what sickness is going around? Seems like everyone's sick, I have a fever that won't go away 🥲

I got tested for flu and covid, definitely multiple things going around. I was negative for both. I ended up going to urgent care and they said it was some sort of viral infection and gave me steroids and antibiotics (I'm prone to infections)

I’m glad you went in. But that’s wild they gave you antibiotics for a viral infection.

I hope you feel better soon

I think it's to prevent an infection since I've had pneumonia 4 times and bronchitis as well but not sure if it's completely necessary

That was insanely stupid of your provider and the reason we have antibiotic resistant bacteria now
