Question: How long does the flu last.? What can I do to get better before Thanksgiving.?
Answers:
The flu usually lasts for a couple of days maybe even a week. The best kind of medicine for the flu is to drink plenty of fluids and rest. Maybe put a call into your doctor before Thanksgiving just to make sure that is all you have. Hope you feel better and Happy Thanksgiving!Health Question & Answer
The flu can last from 7 to 10 days if you take care of your self, it can last longer if there are complications. The cough from the flu can last for several weeks after the flu has cleared up. All you can do is treat the symptoms. Tylenol, hot baths, and a heating pad can help the body aches, 12 hour nasal spray can help the stuffy nose. Eat lightly, get plenty of rest, and drink lots of fluids. The flu has to run its course.....Health Question & Answer
The flu usually lasts maybe 3 days. While you have it, you need to rest as much as possible and drink lots of liquids. If you aren't on a prescription medication, you might want to go to the drug store and ask the pharmacist what the best over the counter remedy would be. There are some out there. Hope you feel better soon!Health Question & Answer
I cannot answer from experience as I have never had it for more than a day.
Generally we educate patients that if it does not get better or at least start to within 7 to 10 days, then you need to see a doctor.
One friend who did not ended up with a heart valve replacement.
Me, I boost my glutathione through diet and sometimes supplements and rarely get sick. If I do, it does not last for long. So if you would like to do the same there are some simple dietary things you can do.
