Mystery Illness

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) It's being dubbed the mystery illness by many in Waco but It's not allergies or the flu.

Dr. Tim Martindale of the Providence Family Medicine Clinic said, he's seeing several patients coming in his office with flu-like symptoms.

"Flu symptoms come on suddenly and consist of a high fever, constant congestion and a cough that produces phlegm. So the difference between what we're seeing come in, is a lot of stomach problems and no fever."

Dr. Martindale suggest calling your doctor and discussing your symptoms before making an appointment.

If it's a pesky virus it should clear up on it's own within a week.
