I was told by a doctor in a walkin clinic that I have the Rhinovirus, and that its pretty severe.. supposed to isolate everything I use.. and he said to ensure I don't give it to my kids as they would get very sick.. He gave me medication for the symptoms, but said it would be a long battle for my body to fight it.
My question is.. I google this thing, and ...[text shortened]... old? and should be not that long.. anyone else ever have this? Am I missing something?

Sorry mate but he's winding you up. Anything that start 'rhino...' is to do with the nose (like the rhino animal itself) Bit naughty of him him but it's nothing to sorry about. You're taking antibotics for your throat so don't drink, and antibiotics can and do bring many people down, making themselves feel even worse. Physocamatic isn't it called? Something like that.

Next time you see your own doctor have a strong word or three with him. I too had a doctor that I had to have words with - get on geat now as I don't see him at all!

You have a cold with a sore throat and will more than likely snore more than usua matel. Full stop.
