With these new types of flues it can be from 7 to 10 days .Keep drinking liquids and drinking soups and eating crackers to keep something in your belly.Take tylonels for the pain; and fevers..I know it's a pain in the butt ' but you should ne more than half done with it all ready..Sorry your so sick and i wish you a quick recovery,,God bless you ; hope you feel better soon.,.,.,
the flew usualy lasts as lon as 10 to 14 days.For a smoker it can last a little longer.Just try to take in as much fluid as possible so that you do not dehydrate.If it persists or worsens you may want to go back to the doctor or get a second opinion
Lasts about a week but you may feel run down for a couple of weeks, i thought i was dying too, doesn't feel good does it, i had aches and pains for a week. i feel for you, but you will get better, oh one more thing, after my bout of the flu, food had no taste for over 3months.
2-3 days to 2 weeks, but make sure you don't get a secondary infection (aka pneumonia) because that can take longer to resolve, and might need antibiotics. If you are still sick or have a fever a week out, and also have a lot of green or yellow phlegm or phlegm with blood streaks, go to the doctor again.
If you're ok at day 3, you probably won't get a secondary infection if you're generally healthy and get enough rest.
drink a lot of water. I like hot lemonade with ginger for the flu, some people like to add some cayenne (clears the nose).
