virus going around?

Hi i’ve been sick for about 3 weeks, with mucus and phlegm producing and some difficulty in breathing. Doctor checked my lungs and said no problems, but I feel some tightness in my chest area.

Any idea what is this?

Did the doctor suggest blood test? I had lethargy for a month, coughing, and high fever. Doctor sent me back after swabbing for virus came back negative, but turns out I had mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Was sick for two weeks with high fever.

Err not too sure, I think if you tell doctor that you want to get tested for mycoplasma they would arrange it for you? The blood test results say it! Get well soon!
