Answer #2

There’s no cure for the flu - you just have to let it run its course. The advil is just to ease your discomfort. You should also take a sinus medication if you’re congested, but that’s really all you can do. Get plenty of rest and don’t sneeze on anyone! You’ll be feeling better in about 10-15 days.

Answer #3

hey there’s a vaccine for that, the doctor didn’t tell you? be strong and get a lots of rest

Answer #4

Yes. lol, listen to your body ;)

Answer #5

Hot showers to keep your sinuses running will help to clear you up a little faster, take Vit C. as well. Wash your hands often to prevent re-infection. Sleep.

Answer #6

thx lotz I will try the hot showas and no, the doc didnt tell me bout the vaccine. also,ahhh!!! 10 to 15 days !!! are you kidding me im supposed to go on vacay on sunday and its friday. I live in nj and im going to south carolina so its about 11-12 hr. ride. will I feel bad in the car, and do I have to take it easy while im there? because I going to a family members house and me and my parents are staying there for 8-9-10 days and hten my parents are leavin me ther til the end of july. should I just rest there until I feel good enough to do fun activities or what?!

Answer #7

Just do what you’re doing, liquids, sleep and hot shower was a good idea too. One thing I can help you with is avoiding secondary infections that come with flu. You will need to strengthen your immune system as quickly as possible. Otherwise you will not only be susceptible to getting sick again but a weakened immune system is the cause of allergies. So that being said, 70% of your immune function occurs in your intestinal track. Cleanse your system the right way and then get on good nutrition.
