1. Common symptoms; weakness, fever, sore throat, and puffiness to the cheeks. The swelling may extend from the cheeks to under the angle of the jaw.
2. This common childhood illness has its highest incidence in the spring. One has fever, malaise, headache, muscle and sore throat. These symptoms will give way to a rash (pink, circular spots) that starts on the face and spreads to the trunk, arms, and legs. Duration of the rash is typically 1-3 days.
Common symptoms in the adults include: fever, chills, runny nose, sore throat, swollen glands, frontal headache, muscle and body aches, joint pains, dry cough, chest pains with coughing, and weakness.
Common presentation is abdominal pain with fever, loss of appetite, and nausea. Within 6-7 hours the pain localizes to the right lower quadrant of the abdomen.
Common symptoms include productive cough, fever, and chills. Shortness of breath is seen in more severe cases, breathing out is more difficult than breathing in. The act of breathing out may be accompanied by a musical wheeze.
This infection will commonly start as an upper respiratory infection with symptoms of runny nose, fever, and sore throat. A cough may be present, but it is usually spreading to the limbs. The rash starts as red spots that later turn into blistery bumps. The rash will eventually crust over, scab, and only rarely cause scarring. This process may take 7-14 days.
It is generally a 3-7 days illness (often seasonal) that results in congestion, runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat and dry cough. There may be an associated low-grade fever.

M: How, thoughtless of you, the evening was chilly and windy. Now you will have to stay in. Here is the thermometer, take your temperature.
S: Oh, I’ll be all right in a few hours.
M: Now, you do what you are told. Put the thermometer under your armpit. Oh, it’s thirty-eight point three. You’ll have to away from classes today. I ‘ ll call the doctor. (She phones to the local out patient hospital and is told that the doctor will call while making his daily round of the district).
D: What do you complain of, my boy?
S: I have a bad headache and a sore throat. I feel sort of feverish.
D: Let me feel your pulse. Open your mouth, please. I see your tongue is coated and your throat inflamed. Now, strip to the waist, please. Take a deep breath…
Your son is to keep his bed for three days. Here is the prescription. This medicine is to be taken three times a day before meals, two tablespoonfuls each time. It will help to keep the fever down. Blow your nose gently, young man, or else you’ll have an earache…nothing serious, but don’t get up before Wednesday, as there might be complications (bad after-effects)
