OMG is it ever!!!!!
I am a nurse and work in an office just TODAY alone we have had 17 patients test positive for the flu!!!
Girls drink plenty of water and get to the doc asap if you suspect the flu, there is an antiviral that works great called tamiflu. Oh, and alot of handwashing- by everyone in the household!
According to the doc I workl for you can still get a flu shot, while it is not a guarantee that yiou wont get the flu, it greatly reduces your chances!!!
Feel better!!!!! The worst will be over in the next few days, you still may feel a bit crappy for the next 1-2 weeks
Well One and a half days has past since I first had symptoms...My fever spiked at 101.3 and is slowly working its way down from there!! Im going stir crazy...sitting on this couch for days...but I have no choice...Thank You all so much for the ideas. I usually try and steer clear from anti biotics...Im not a big fan of them and I havent taken antibiotics in 7 years!!! So im going to try and get better on my own first. Im taking every single one of your advice...especially the ginger idea!!! Therma flu is a dream!!! Thanks girls
The flu is a virus, not a bacteria, so antibiotics have no effect on it. Like the nurse Mrs. Pags said - if you take Tamiflu in the first day or two of your flu, it greatly reduces the number of days you'll be sick. Tamiflu is an antiviral. If you've already been sick for two days, you'll have to just ride it out.
Hope you feel better really soon.
