Prayers, prayers, prayers that it doesn't develop into valley fever.
eating
One of my best friends caught it and the doc treated it as pneumonia for a month before they ran a test for valley fever, she ended up sick for months and is now just getting active again after 6 months
At least you have a heads up so they will check for it and treat it right away.
