Help flu question?

I think I have the flu... aches, sore throat, clogged up nose, wheezing and hard time breathing (I have athsma and use an inhailer) I have to take care of my toddler all day and am miserable... I am currently taking 3 advil, sudafed (the behind the counter one) drinking lots of tea and water. What else can I do to make myself feel better? I was thinking of going to the gym (they have great childcare) And working out a little (i will use plenty of hand sanitizer of course) And sitting in the steam room for a while. Any other suggestions?

Sorry for the people that already amswered this.... I put it in the wrong catagory.

You might want to try "Thera-flu"...it's powdered medicine in a packet that you mix with hot water..I always add a little bit of sugar to it to make it taste better but I'll tell you...it really works...you will feel better in 20 minutes, no lie...
If I were you...I would stay away from the gym or anywhere else there are a lot of people...not only because you may be contagious and spread your germs around but because your immune system is compromised right now and you could make yourself get more sick by going around other people...I'm sure that there is someone else sick that would be at the gym too...so stay away...for now...you don't want to get sicker...
Have you tried Vicks? The vapo rub? Put it on your chest and in your nose...but don't go outside with it on...wash it off first...it will open your pores up and your sinuses...stay inside and keep warm...
Drinking all of those fluids you say you are drinking is a good idea too....sounds like you are on the road to recovery...
Hope you feel better.

Tell Baby that you dont feel well. and crawl into bed and take a nap.
