Dr said I shouldn’t catch my husband bacterial infection but now now I starting to get really achy and sore throat? (sinus, cold)

This morning I felt like crap but temp was 97 now it’s 99 and rising. Feel horrible. Husband has sinus infection, ear infection, pink eye, horrible cough (not pneumonia though)100 temp on and off. And high WBC count. He’s on Levaquin and the dr also had him go to the hospital an get and IV of it with saline as well because is WBC was 19. So am I on the way to getting the same thing? I can’t handle the strong antibiotics. Bedsides a head cold sometimes I never get very sick. Today is the worst I’ve felt in years. I hoping he also had a virus and I’m just catching the bad cold part of it. Does this mean my resistance is low? I never catch anything my coworkers have and I haven’t missed work in 4 years.

No one can tell you. We could suggest that you are under stress, anxious, probably more tired than usual and that alone could set up up for picking up a "cold virus" just about anywhere. If, as you say you don't usually pick up what other people get, you may just fight it off as you usually do. The symptoms are signs your immune system is fighting back, not surrendering. Support it's efforts; rest more, eat well, stay hydrated, if there are immune system support supplements you like using (there are lots...some basics include zinc, echinacea, elderberry, etc.) won't hurt to use it in moderation. Keep things your husband uses clean, and don't borrow trouble.

Well now my temp is 100.2 on Tylenol. Haven’t felt this bad in 10 years. Can’t handle it.
