The flu, need help.?!


Question:

The flu, need help.?

I have the flu or some sort, i was sweating all day yesterday cause i felt it coming on & i heard that if you sweat a lot then it gets rid of it faster, i had on loads of clothes, jackets, a sleeping bag on & in covers, so you can only imagine how much i sweated lol cause i hate the flu. Well i woke up today & its way way worse. So should i try sweating all day again or is that a bad idea?


Answers:

I've never heard this. In fact, when my daughter was ill with the flu we were told to stop bundling her up that we were only making her fever go up.
I suggest: (1) Call your doctor-they make antiviral medications for the flu. (2) lots of rest and fluids (3) no alcohol or tobacco.
Hope you feel better soon!!
