Is this normal for the flu?


ive been having "flu" symptoms for over a week,, will i be ok??

Yea I had the same thing.

Take flu meds

See a doctor.

yes sometimes it could last longer than a wwek i have had that before

You'll be fine if you stop moving around so much and gettitng congested. That's how it happens. :)

I am sorry to say,,but you probably will have them up to 2 weeks...But the first week is usually the worst til any medicine kicks in...I am on 10day myself..I hope you start feeling better soon..It isn't too cool feeling so yukky...I KNOW! GET WELL SOON!

ginger and cayenne,chicken soup, some garlic taped to the bottom of your foot

It's the flu season, so if it you start to feel worse go see your doc and get a prescription for flu meds.

You will be okay. Sometimes it takes a while to get over the flu. My neighbor has been sick all week with the flu. She even went to the doctor and got medication but she still not a 100% better yet.

yep..the flu can last a 24 hour thing, to be wioth you for for a couple of weeks until you feel 100% better

Actually,you'll want to avoid taking too many flu medicines,because they only weaken your immune system.

You can try juices,soup,tea and anything with Vitamin C.


It'll help.

OMG. (yes, and i have it too) "they" apparently got the flu vaccine all kinds of messed up, and it's not really helping anyone from catching it!!!
(lol) yes, you should be ok. If you go to dr., make SURE you take all yer meds- i mean all of them, that are prescribed to you, keep drinking lots-o-fluids and all that happy stuff.
i mean, i don't really know if you have the "flu"- don't know what sympots you have, but i can tell you to try and stay out of the ER, the hospitals are over run with folks going in there- it's just a cold- (i pressume) but of course, nothing i say can take the place of your primary care physcian- they are going to be the best source of info... try to do the things to nurse your self back to health- like boost your immune system with vitamins (c and stuff) listen to your body- if you need to sleep, sleep- your sick and your body repairs itself thataway!....If you take OTC crap- (which makes the symptoms (only!) go away, your taking out your bod's first line of defense away.. (if you stop the coughing/ how do you expell the nasty mucus down in your lungs? if you stop the fever- how can yer body "bake away" the germs? Now of course you need to go get a professional opinion if you start having the convulsions or what have yous.... I assume you have some common sense! It's a cold though, and in this day of instant gratifcation- i believe we are doing a lot of harm to our bod's natrual reactions by taking a bunch of OTC junk (and if you look at my last question, you can see that even the best-o-us can fall victim to it!!! hahahaha!!!!) (i'm not perect either. to reiterate earlier- call yer primary care doc- they always have the best advice! good luck!
