I haven’t been around anyone sick and I felt fine yesterday. Today, I’m sick as a dog and ended up in the ER. I’ve been diagnosed with a sever bacterial infection which has infantrated my sinuses, both ears, throat, larynx, and lungs. I’m also being treated for a urinary tract infection due to acute side pains. How long is the incubation period? I went to bed symptom free and woke up miserable at 4 AM. How is this spread? Is it from another person or environmental? I would have asked my doctor all this, but the laryngitus has K.O. my ability to speak without pain.

bacterial incubation period ranges from a few hours to a days..and respiratory infection always mean that u got them from the air (for very small bacterias) or by direct contact (when somebody sneezed in front of u)
bacterias are floating in the air all the time, so its very normal to get respiratory infection.
the latter goes on,from ur nasal mucosa to larynx/pharynx,then to bronchus up till alveoli, thus infecting all of ur respiratory tract.
i think u had bacteremia, sinceu said it was severe, thats why ure having UTI.
bacteria get into the blood stream from ur respiratory tract and attacks other organs,in ur case,urinary tract.
I dont know about your respiratory problem, but the UTI I cant tell you about. You can get a Urinary tract infection from a lot of things. tight pants, too much sex, wipping for back to front (aka shit in pee hole), and any day you can think of. My UTI went to my kidneys and caused serious pain. it should go away in two days or so with antibiotics, but penicillian can cause a yeast infection, so watch out for that, that sucks too.
Even though you are not around sick people, respiratory infections are usually transmitted through respiratory droplets in air.So u will never know how you get infections like URI
