Question
The whole family has symptoms of cough, sore throat, and no high fever. Besides the lack of high fever, the other symptoms are very similar to H9N7, and there are many eye boogers in the morning. Do you think this is H9N7? Previous treatment situation and effectiveness: The doctor said the child has a slight pneumonia, my husband has pharyngitis, and I haven’t seen it. Desired assistance: I want to understand if this is H9N7.
Answer
Based on the current medical information you’ve provided, the whole family is experiencing cough, sore throat, and no high fever. At this point, we do not consider it an H7N9 virus infection. The symptoms are more likely due to a common cold, possibly accompanied by mild pharyngitis. You can take some Tylenol, banlangen (a traditional Chinese herb), and huangao jie duan (a traditional Chinese medicine tablet), rest well, and drink plenty of water. These are suggestions for the question of “cough and sore throat without fever.” I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
