Flu help
I have had a flu since yesterday, 102.2 it was yesterday. Now this morning it is at 103.7. I took theraflu, NyQuil, ibuprofen, nothing seems to work. What do you guys take when you get this junk? I don't want to go to the Drs cause it's just a flu. Or it's Ebola 😁
If your temp is over 103 go to a hospital now.

Yeah, I go to the doctor when it reaches 103*.
All right, I'll do that. Thanks guys I'll keep Ya posted
Over 103 is getting dangerous, go see the doc.
"Just a flu" ... The Spanish Flu was pretty damned deadly. Go to the doc if your self-treatment isn't working and your fever continues to rise.
" I don't want to go to the Drs cause it's just a flu." Just a note: between 3000 to 49000 people die of the Flu each year in the US. It's mostly elderly patients (90%) but the other 10% are young adult in perfect health. 100% of the death for the young adults are preventable if proper care is given in time.

Get well soon!
Supposedly a rare variant called H3N2 is running around. I had a fever, I felt like I was burning up, but temp was 95.6F. I downed lots of cough medicine. Worse flu I ever had. Symptoms started November 16 and I still have a cough. I'm still tired from this bout of the flu.

If you truly have influenza, go to the doctor. There is only about a 48 hour window from the onset of symptoms for you to start Tamiflu (antiviral). If you try to tough it out and wait too long, you lose your chance to get any relief from the Rx.
To to top it off, the flu shot is largely ineffective this year.
