I think I have the flu, do you think going to the emergency would help?


My throat is swelled up, i am running a fever, i cant swollow anything now even my spit, i am very nauseas, and i am so tired all the time!!!

Probably need to check for strep throat to be on the safe side. If your temp. is below 102f You will probably be all right. all they can do is let flu run it's course, unless you develop secondary infections. It would be cheaper if you see your fam. Dr. if possible. For your throat an old remedy was to gargle with warm water and dissolved aspirin or vinegar.

Going to the doctor can help if you have had symptoms less than 12 to 24 hours. There are medications they can give you during that window that will help.

If you cannot even swallow your saliva, then that is pretty serious, and you may have a tonsillar abscess and infection, and not the flu at all. Yes, I think you should go to the ER and right away, too.

sounds like strep throat. you will need an antibotic if it is

go to an urgent care facility -- they might be able to see you sooner than in a hospital ER (average wait at least 3-4 hrs before seeing a dr). Hope you feel better!

Strep throat. I have it too right now. Get to a Dr. ASAP!

Sounds like something more than the flu, if you cannot swallow, that is a major red flag! Get to the er stat!
