I believe that is where I got it. I already was vaccinated and the patient next to me I heard them say she tested positive for the flu. So you have to be careful even or especially ay the hospital!!! By the way I slept all Sunday feeling much better today😊

Have you experienced lingering chest congestion for 3 weeks after getting the flu vaccine and a brief illness?
Three weeks of chest congestion is longer than typical post-vaccine side effects or a short-term illness. While the flu vaccine can cause mild, temporary symptoms, persistent congestion lasting this long warrants medical attention.
Why you should contact your healthcare provider:
- Prolonged respiratory symptoms could indicate a secondary infection or complication
- People with type 1 diabetes may need different treatment approaches when dealing with infections
- Illness and infections can affect your blood sugar levels, making diabetes management more challenging
- Your provider can determine if you need prescription medication or other interventions beyond over-the-counter options
Important considerations with type 1 diabetes:
When you're sick, your body releases stress hormones that can raise blood sugar levels, even if you're eating normally and taking your usual insulin doses. This can continue throughout your illness and recovery.
Monitor your blood glucose more frequently during this time, and reach out to your diabetes care team if you notice unusual patterns or difficulty managing your levels while dealing with this congestion.
Don't wait to seek medical advice—persistent respiratory symptoms need proper evaluation and treatment.
