Just a Virus

 Meg was happy to report yesterday that she didn't have a sinus infection and that all of her issues this week were related to a virus.  The health center at IU had prescribed her Mucinex D twice a day and told her to take Benadryl at night to help as well.  She was very happy with the diagnosis as she was concerned that she had something extremely contagious like strep throat.  I was just glad to hear that the medications that they gave her were already working.  She slept better last night and sounded a little more like herself this afternoon when I talked to her.  Meg said that the nurse felt that this stemmed from all of the allergens in the air in Bloomington.  The town has definitely caused problems for her siblings, so I wasn't surprised to hear that.  Meg, herself, had been sick off and on last semester and started back with the same symptoms as soon as she returned to campus.  Hopefully, this will be the end of it or at least she will know what to do if this occurs again in the future.  Incredibly thankful to finally have some answers for her.
