Harriette, your current illness may very well have been started by a virus but these sorts of illnesses can become bacterial. If you are coughing up anything greenish, brownish or with little blood flecks in it, my hope is that you'll listen to your gringo friends. Likewise, if you are waking soaked in so much sweat the sheets need changing you've got a big problem.

You might also find that should you try to fly home for treatment you won't be allowed on the plane (for concerns regarding infection of others).

A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?
