Bobby, why are you bothering with these tests?
Will it make any difference to what you do if you find out that you have one of those viruses?

I'm a scientist - that's what we do - we test for everything to find the cause.

If I go to see a doctor I'm sure he'd be interested to know the results of those tests.

I have never been prescribed one of those tests by a doctor.

You cannot test for everything Bobby. That's kind of the opposite of what real scientists do.

Not clever bobby.

Taking paracetamol.

I used some more Paracetamol last night.

(A packet will last me for one year so that's OK.)

My temp rocketed up and I felt very sick again.

Your choice.

bobby,

I learnt, what paracetamol can do to a persons liver.

Learning THAT, .....my choice, ....is i will never willingly take paracetamol again.

.

bobby,

'Feeling sick' is the body, YOUR body, 'telling you'......that there is something in your body, which the body wants to expel.

bobby,

'Feeling sick' is a SYMPTOM.

If you decide to take a medication to BLOCK the [unpleasant] 'Feeling sick' SYMPTOM,
the body, YOUR body, will probably stop trying to expel whatever it is, that YOUR body wants to expel.

Removing a SYMPTOM by taking a medication, can stop you 'experiencing' sickness.

But it can also stop you 'experiencing' the healing crisis, while you are 'Feeling sick'.

And, taking a medication does not always address the CAUSE of an illness that we have.

WWW search.....
"healing crisis", wellness

Personally......
If i myself, was 'Feeling sick'.......i would 1/ physically rest, and 2/ choose, to only eat liquid meals [e.g. veggie soups], until i feel better.

Digesting 'heavy' food [while we are 'sick'], can consume a lot of our bodily energy.

p.s.
Yadda is not a doctor.

Well it's true - there are just too many viruses to test for:

ABOUT COLDS AND FLU
A cold is caused by a virus that affects the nose,
throat and upper airways. There are more than
200 different viruses that can cause a cold.
The flu (influenza) is caused by more severe viruses. The
rapid changes in viruses also result in different
types of seasonal flu.
Adults usually have three to four colds each year

There could be a number of reasons:

(1) To provide information that could be used to evolve a
comprehensive plan to isolate the patient from others and to
select the right medications to aid in a faster recovery.

(2) to make money out of hypochondriacs.
