flu???
I'm 25+5, I got my flu shot 2months ago.. Can I still get the flu? I was exposed a little over a week ago, now I'm achy sore throat congestion n a bad bad cough, n low grade temp. I'm also diabetic type 2.. I'm not sure what to do, call my ob or go to a regular Dr or just wait it out.. Any thoughts ladies??
Thanks ladies. I'm gonna try n make it thru tonight and call my ob in the morning and see what he wants me to do.
Haha!! Didn't mean to call me!! Call MD!
Definitely call one of them and they can do a rapid flu test....yes you can still get the flu,even after getting the vaccine...keep hydrated and keep any fever down....but call ME!! Good luck!!
We've been seeing cases of Influenza A in patients who were immunized this year! Because the vaccine is made based off of last years strains and the strains have an entire year to mutate-there's always the chance of getting it even though you've had the vaccine! Make sure you're drinking plenty of fluids and take Tylenol as needed for pain and fever control! I would contact your OB and see what they think (: get to feeling better mommy!
