Flu that won't go away

Anonymus

I don't have allergies and I have been sick for nearly two weeks now. I think it's a cold or flu. I have a hacking cough that started three weeks ago and recently I have started to cough up phelgm. I also have a really runny nose and I have to blow my nose frequently. My muscus is thick and heavy (if you get what I mean) and I am using a handkerchief because Kleenex sometimes isn't strong enough. (I blow and I blow and I blow but there always seems to be more.) Should I carry on using a handkerchief? I also have a fever that goes up and down and I throw up occasionally. This sickness started as a bad cough and a slight sniffle and an occasional noseblow, so I thought it was probably a cold. How can I determine between the flu and a cold? I don't usually see a doctor for colds or the flu, but should I make an appoitment in this case?
My husband is always bringing home germs. He catches sicknesses from his students at the university. For example, last year he caught a bad cold, so after sleeping with him coughing and sneezing over me for a few nights, I also came down with a serious cold. I sleep with him in the same bed, so is catching sicknesses from him unavoidable?

Spread of flu bug

Anonymus

I have five kids aged 6-12. There has been a flu bug lately at our house. A month ago, my oldest child caught it from a friend at school, and since then all my kids except my youngest one has had the flu. Last week I caught it and I am still very sick now. I have a fever and I threw up yesterday. My nose is runny and swollen and I sneeze and wheeze a lot. I blow my nose frequently with a handkerchief. I don't want to spread my germs to my youngest kid because he has always been sickly. He caught a cold when he was younger, and that progessed to pnuemonia. What can I do? I have close contact with my kids, so is it unavoidable? There's also something I noticed. Once somebody in our family is sick, everyone gets sick later on. I teach my children to wash their hands, have good hygiene, and they do it, but they always refuse to blow their nose. They just wipe it off with the back of their hands or with a hanky. They don't care about these things. What should I do when one of my kids get sick to prevent them from spreading germs to others? (I have tried forcing them to wear masks. It doesn't work. They keep them on, but they take them off when they sneeze or cough.)
