My healthy 18y/o daughter caught H1N1 last Tuesday, went to the doctor on Thursday. Normal flu stuff, sniffles, cough, aches and fever. Given Hydromet, Relenza, ect.
Dr told her to take up to 10000 IU of D3 while sick, and to go down to 2000-4000IU once over the flu.Come Sunday, she was much worse off, so back we go. Diagnosed with a secondary sinus infection, given Augmentin, and told to watch her closely. Went to the ER Sunday night, with extreme facial pain, and was given percocet and more antibiotics. She has slept all day, and finally seems to be coming back to life tonight. I have never seen her so sick, or get sick so quickly, even though she had pneumonia a few years back. So, those of you with kids, watch them closely. It does really take its toll on younger people. I have been quite anxious for the last few days. I hope my younger daughter does not get it.
It does not seem like much of a joke. The ER was packed with people for the same reasons I was there.
