I think i got the flu ):..... what should i do?


I keep throwing up ... and coughing i can't keep anything down i got chills i have no energy for anything ...so what do yah think i should do to make me feel better please help??

When you quit vomiting go to the doc...they have meds that help you get over the flu quickly.

Go to the doctor and get antibotics before it turns into something worse.

Yep momma's chicken soup

Go to the doctor when i went he told me to take the rest of the week off - flu

Try Thera-flu, over the counter. Also, rest, rest, rest, lots of liquids and wait it out.

You should go see a doctor or go to emergency room. You can also take some over the counter medicine for the symptoms that you have. Get plenty of rest and try to stay hydrated.

I've got a cold. My nose leaks, my ears itch and my throat is sore. Sleep alot and eat food with lots of vitamins. For throwing up drink some flat coke.
Get well soon :)

I would go to the doctor ; and see if i could get some medications.

antibiotics will do nothing for the flu, it is a virus, antibiotics only treat bacterial infections. As for the antiviral meds, they have to be started within 24 hours of first symptoms to do any good, so it's likely too late for that.
Do not consume anything at all for 8 hours from the last time you vomited, this allows the stomach to relax. After that, drink only clear liquids for another 8 hours. Get some baby aspirin for now and let it melt in your mouth, do not swallow it, you will absorb the aspirin thru your oral mucous membranes. Once you are able to take clear liquids without vomiting you can take tylenol as directed for fever or muscle ache. Do NOT plan on going anywhere until you are symptom free for 24 hours, or you do the disservice of spreading your illness around. Keep yourself hydrated, and drink at least 2 liters of fluid daily. The worst of it should be over in about a week to ten days, so if you work, you might let them know you won't be in for at least a week.

Well I started out with a clog in my throat and kinda like i had lost my voice on Monday. I went to a minute clinic and flu test was negative. he gave me nothing to help, don't ever go to a minute clinic its a waste of money. Anyways I went to my regular doctor Wednesday morning because I couldn't hardly walk and had a fever of 101. He did a flu test that came back positive. he told me since i was already 48 hours into the flu the antivirals would not work. i still have a fever of 101.5 and this is my 4th day with the flu and I am also very congested and stay stuffed up unless I take sudafed. It is terribly awful and this is my first experience with it. My suggestion is to go to your doctor if you want them to test and make sure you have the flu. The test only takes 10 minutes. they will swab your nose and put it in some kind of culture thing then you wait the 10 minutes. he told me to take ibuprofen, tylenol, and drink lots of fluids. But if you wait there is nothing they can do for you, you just have to live with feeling like crap for 1-2 weeks.
