Ask MeCha: New Diet or Recuperation? It's been five days since I've had a real, full meal.[More:]I came back from the con with what we like to call "the con plague" but is probably something like the flu. I spent all day of last Tuesday in bed with a high fever, congestion and coughs that were like dry heaves. I've slowly knocked down that fever into nothing, but I'm still congested and now my throat is raw.

I'd like to be able to eat, but I can barely even swallow. I have no idea how much weight I've lost, if any, due to only having mouthfuls of soup and some Pringles every day.

Do you think I should go to the doctor to get the meds to just knock this thing out for good?
Because you ask the question, yes, go see the Doc.

(but drink lots, if nothing else)

Yes, go to the doctor. My goodness, that does not sound pleasant.

I think you should just go into the doctor's office with your Pringles can and shiver, moaning until someone notices you. If they ask why you're there, you should weakly proffer the Pringles can and ask "I need...some more...of THESE!"

Just got back from the urgent care center. Prognosis? Bronchitis! Got some antibiotics and I think I'm going to pass out now.

I did manage to eat a little bit of mushy macaroni and cheese and some ice cream this morning. My poor digestive system is paying for it now. *weeps*
