How to Treat the Flu (Influenza) | Flu Treatment

If the flu is going around and develops symptoms, it's best to see your doctor within a day or two. Since that is when medications for the flu are most effective.
Flu medications like Oseltamivir (Tami flu) are effective only against influenza viruses and can reduce the severity of symptoms shortens the time you're sick by one or two days.

Anti-Influenza Medications
It should be given as soon as possible because of what I just mentioned. They're most likely to provide benefits within the first 48 hours of the illness. But it doesn't mean that after 48 hours, it's 100% ineffective; it's just that the sooner that's given, the more effective it is.
With children, these coughing cold medicines are ineffective. They can have serious side effects. So check with your pediatrician.

Things you can do to help with cold and flu symptoms include –
- Getting rest
- Drinking fluids if you're not too nauseated
- For a sore throat, you can gargle warm salt water or use throat sprays or lozenges
- Use petroleum jelly under the nose if it becomes raw for wiping it with tissues
- You can sit in a steam-filled room to temporarily decrease congestion
- You can use vaporizers and humidifiers

Am I the only one who has a flu but no fever? Like I get chills, decongestion and muscle aches but no fever

[MS]

When ill i: 1.)drink a ton of water, double-tripple normal intake at first sign of illness2.)eat extra clean nutritious diet during illness 3.)do 1 small walk per day and rest all other hours and do nothing stressful.


Works great. Last illness i got was over it pretty much in 2-3 days.

I just relocated from AZ to TX. And my body is still adjusting to the humidity.

I have all of the following symptoms: fever, chills (goosebumps), cough, mucus, sore throat, fatigue, nausea, and very dark bowel movements. And I almost puked yesterday after being in the truck for 15-ish minutes because the bumps in the road caused nausea. I felt my elevated heartbeat today after walking upstairs to complete laundry.

Eh, I hope this flu heals soon. Placing cold water on my forehead and chest seems to significantly help. I’ve noticed that placing Vaseline on my forehead and throat have also helped. I plan to prepare soup for tomorrow’s dinner.

Thank you for the informative video.

I have the flu and it SUCKS! I got it from mom and now if I go to school people will think I have the coronavirus.. 🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s so fricking annoying. I can’t see my friends and I can’t even go to school.. 😔 I hope I get better soon

My wife got sick this morning. Sore throat, cough, chills, fever of 100.2. Thanks for this video

[Boingfish]

“The sooner it is given”. MDs with positive HCQ and Zinc treatment, stated the same results COVID 19 patients. I wish this issue wasn’t politicized. You have been balanced in that subject...thank you!

[tylerjustice]

Ive got fever, chills, body aches and headaches but no nasal congestion or cough

[sonjakientsch]

I take garlic when I have a cold and it is usually gone in 2 -3 days.. I don't think I ever had the flu. A lot of my friends do get the flu, but so far I have been lucky..

[lpgfamily]

He didn’t mention NSAIDs but I currently have flu and bringing the fever down is the only thing that has helped me even be able to stand up. Every muscle hurt and was heavy and I had zero energy. Terrible flu going around this time.

I just recovered from the flu after 4 days. I used black seed oil, cordyceps, astragalus, and Wim Hof breathing method. Day 2 and 3, I was still strong and functionable.

[andreykhazhevskiy]

So many studies on drugs, and almost no studies on herbs?

[terrystorey]

I love your videos I think you should do a video on the dangers of too much Zinc bc this video just discusses its effect on colds but zinc can be permenantly disabling and I think most people are unaware of its dangers.

Too many big words! Rest, drink lots of water, Ginger lemon honey once it’s taken hold
