My daughter got the swine flu 5 weeks ago. It lasted about 2 weeks before she was back to her usual self.

THen about 2 weeks ago she started to get headaches, nausea and a cough which was reminiscent of the swine flu.

The cough is now gone but the nausea and headache simply will not go away. She spends every day on the couch or in bed.

At first, I thought she may be experiencing an allergic reaction to one of her meds (Zith or Lexapro).

Or now, I'm thinking that this may be a herx. (She has never herxed in 5 months of treatment.)

Or perhaps the swine flu kicked up some viruses, (which she is loaded with).

Does anyone have any advice??

A lot of people seem to have a second bout of H1N1.

Ask this question there, too.

I'd also ask your LLMD.

That's true about it coming back. I hope she is feeling better soon!
