Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
yes this is still a consideration.

I would recommend that you see your doctor in the next couple of days for a good physical examination to make sure there is nothing going on. It might have been just a viral syndrome but we want to be extra safe.

Thanks again for sending the question and please let us know if you have any additional specific concerns.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
