A member asked:

Been sick for 5 days. fever, chills, cough, fatigue, headache, body aches, sore throat, not much mucus, some nausea. when should i see a dr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good question.: Sounds like you might have the flu. There is no necessity to see the doc unless you take a sudden turn for the worse, have progressive symptoms or serious symptoms (shortness of breath, inability to keep down fluids, lethargy, etc.). These virtually always resolve. Go Seahawks!
