The doctor told me yesterday to call back if I ran a fever - done and done.

Evidently this crap is going around. Five to seven days for the feverish part to pass and potentially another two weeks for the cough to go away. Call back again if the fever goes up another degree or so or I start coughing up blood.

Yay.

Ooh, I bet it's that.

Oh, that can be nasty stuff. It runs differently in different people, but it gave me pneumonia (and made me miss about three weeks of seventh grade in the process). Fortunately, there are antibiotics for it. (They tasted awful, though. I got actively nauseous every time I tasted artificial banana flavor for about the next decade.)
