Any point in going to dr for flu?

Yes, take the tamiflu since it knocks at least a day off of the duration.

Yes for Tamiflu. Only if you go within 48 hours of symptoms.

Alternate acetaminophen and ibuprofen to reduce fever and body aches, drink gatorade, eat comfort food and watch netflix. It's like a mini-vacation.

No. Take some vitamin C and lift weights.

Flu typically only infects those with Low T

I've had something for 3 weeks now.. it's just been lingering. Started with body aches and fatigue. Transitioned to sore throat and sinuses and now its chest congestion and sinuses. Never any fever though.

Been taking Mucinex cold, flu, & sore throat but it's barely helped.

Finally giving in and going get my z-pak and steroid shot today.

Exactly what I did for COVID. Worked fine.

years ago I thought I had the flu and being the tough guy I am just thought I’d gut it out, got a fairly high fever that lasted all day, the wife (fiance at the time, no pics,) hauled me to the ER, after a battery of tests the doc determined I had sepsis, admitted me to the hospital, he told us that in his opinion if she hadn’t insisted on taking me to the ER that I would have died within 10-12 hours

except you usually don't feel like death warmed up on vacation.

OK then go spend $180 at the doctor (either your money, or the public's money) for them to tell you the same thing.

1) tamiflu
2) to spread it to more people
3) doctor’s excuse

Just got to after hours.

They will give you a shot and a prescription and you will be in your way
