Pesky Flu

I've had a flu now for a week and nothing I do seems to make it get any better. Being a "switcher", I have a lot of malabsorption. I've taken stuff I know I shouldn't have just to try to get some relief....cold capsules, cough meds, Vicks rub/inhaler, Theraflu....even some alcohol. I'm taking an antibiotic for a respiratory infection too. Has anyone come across an effective way to fight the flu?

Sorry can't help ya on this one but will be praying for your quick recovery.

Bobby - sorry you're down with the flu. I near about FREAKED when I couldn't get a flu shot this year ...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it passes by this house! Unfortunately, sometimes time and rest is the only way to get over the flu. If the stuff you've tried already hasn't helped the symptoms, maybe a call to your surgeon for some suggestions. Feel better soon!!! Are you able to eat and get protein in? Hugs, Nancy -79

Gosh Bobby, I know that flu can be nasty. I hope you are feeling better real soon!! {{HUGS}} Tara 305/219/170

You are probably better now, but one thing you can think about next time is Zicam. It is a nasal spray that is supposed to shorten the length and severity of your cold/flu. When taken at the first symptoms it is more effective. For future reference or if anyone else asks.
