My parents went on a two week vacation to Switzerland and have been back in the United States for around a week. In the last few days they’ve gotten very sick. The symptoms seem like covid or the flu, but my dad said their doctor ruled those out as well as strep throat. I’m sure they ran additional tests as well. Has anyone heard about something like this going around? Should I be concerned? FWIW I’ve been around them the entire time they’ve been sick and I haven’t caught anything.
My dad has had flu-like symptoms ending in a lingering cough that went away for about a week before coming back with a vengeance. He finally got diagnosed last week, parainfluenza RNA. Maybe look into that? Lot of people been sick with something flu-like lately.
He’s also not contagious and the doctor only gave him an asthma puffer because he was having trouble breathing recently but mostly he’s just been taking cough mixture to reduce the symptoms.
