I have a really painful throat and cough. My throat feels dry and my voice is going. I also have a lot of phlegm. But no other cold or flu symptoms. I feel tired and my back is sore but that's it. What could it be? I'm working 12 hour shifts so unable to get to dr and hate going for silly things like coughs.

My Dogs are coughing and hacking and are vomiting small amounts. and the Vomit is white. but its been this way for 3-4 days What are the Symptoms of Stimper ? What could be wrong with my dog if the symptoms of stimper doesnt match?

You must be referring to distemper. I would think that you've had your dog vaccinated for it, because it's required as a part of their yearly shots. if the vomit is white, it's most likely phlegm, which can be due to many things. You should take your dog to the vet, and get him checked out.

Do you mean Distemper? also can be Parvo run do not walk to the vet.This goes down hill very fast.Fever loose stool,vomit,lack of energy.Again I tell you this gets bad quick.if this has already gone on for 3 days and is getting worse Get to the Vet now.Fran

I think you mean Distemper? symptoms include

# Conjunctivitis (discharge from the eye)
# Diarrhea
# Fever (usually present but unnoticed)
# Pneumonia (cough, labored breathing)
# Rhinitis (runny nose)

What? no such thing. Has your dog had his shots? Take your dog to the vet, don't ask here. Your pup needs help, now! good luck and I hope your dog gets better soon.

It might be kennel cough, but you still need to take your dog to the vet to be sure.

When I have arrested people who have TB I have always noticed that they have a very hard, deep cough with lots of phlegm. We always carry paper masks with us for both them and us and sanitize thoroughly after contact.

best wishes

A deep, booming cough, coughing up blood, weight loss, night sweats. Don't expose yourself to this person without a mask, and remember that those paper surgical masks lose effectiveness after 30 minutes; you'll have to put on a new one. if you've been exposed to this person, you should have a TB skin test done. if it has a positive reaction, you'll need to get a chest x-ray to determine if you have active disease. if this 20 year old doesn't take their full course of medicine, it could rebound as an antibiotic resistant strain of the disease. Also, please be aware that TB germs can live in and float through the air for several hours. good luck!
