...and it is my fault. Yesterday I stayed long in the bathroom, enjoying the cold water for 45 minutes, and then sat in front of the television with the electric fan rotating.
When I went to bed, I positioned my electric fan in stationary; at 3AM, I felt cold. I switched off the fan and covered myself up with the blue blanket. I got chills, and I have inflamed tonsils. I have body pains as well.
Well,even health care providers can commit "health crimes". So this morning upon waking up I took a tablespoonful of pure honey.
If I can be treated with hydrotherapy then I won't take any tablet.

yes that is true because our temperature regulating center in our brain will not immediately adjust to the sudden change in temperature.

Why did you take cold bath? Any reason or any suggestion from others?

@ridingbet Good thing you had that picture here because now I can say that I am not anemic too because my palms are not always reddish.
What is protracted influenza. How does it differ from ordinary influenza?

@SIMPLYD before my palms were paper-white, but now, because i eat chicken liver and bitter gourd, the anemia is already gone. if you have reddish palms, then you are not anemic na, my friend.
protracted flu is a prolonged flu before the actual symptoms appear. i had difficulty swallowing and last night, the chills. the symptoms of the flu is coming one at a time. i wish i will manifest the flu in just one instance. this flu will take longer to be treated because the signs and symptoms come one at a time too.

No my dear. I am no longer anemic because my palpebral conjunctive are pinkish, my palms and soles are also pinkish. I have protracted influenza this hot summer time. I took paracetamol tablet after our lunch and right now I am sweating. I hydrate myself because of the insensible loss.

yes kabsat. i am drinking more than i usually drink, to the point of having loose motions again. but i took a tablet of paracetamol this morning after breakfast because i did not want to have the hot feeling again. i don't sweat still, despite the hot temperature we are experiencing here now.

@Shavkat kabsat, i am always resting because i have no work just yet. of course the household chores like preparing the dogs' food, i still do, but my son washes their plates after their meal.

@jaboUK yes, i thought so too. it is because we live in a tropical country, near the equator.

Oh dear, @ridingbet , sorry you have caught a chill! Try a vitamin C tablet and some ginger and cinnamon too. I hope you feel better soon.
