I have recently been getting treatment for leukemia, but I no longer am.  I have had a cold and cough for the last couple of days (some family members were also sick).  This evening at 10
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Since your family members were also sick, it appears to be a flu outbreak. There is no need to worry. You require supportive care. Please do salt water gargle twice daily and this will soothe your throat. Taking Tylenol 6 hourly will control the fever. Cough and cold preparations can be taken over the counter for symptomatic relief. Stay away from extreme weather conditions. Take rest from work for some days. Watch closely for 3 days and if you still have fever or if the cough appears to have increased then you require consulting a doctor and start taking antibiotics should you have developed any secondary bacterial infection. This does not look like cancer appearing again. Please do not worry.
