Please help: I have the flu?


I have the flu. My temperature is 101.3, I feel as though my head is going to explode, and my throat is really sore. How can I bring down my fever and what are some things I can do to feel a little better? I can't take advil because I'm on lexapro. Thanks.

Motrin is the best for a high fever and the aches and pains.Try eating some chicken ramen soup and drinking the broth,That will sooth your throat.You can gargle in salt water,Put a table spoon of salt in a glass and fill it half way with warm water and gargle in it.You need to drink plenty of water or Gatorade and get plenty of sleep.I hope you get well soon.

rest, drink lots of liquids (chicken soup may help), and next year take a flu shot
