My sister is getting married Friday evening. My mom called this morning to tell me that she has the flu. it started yesterday and she feels horrible. She feels even worse since therer are so many things she needs to do to get ready for the wedding. I told her she just needs to rest and drink lots of fluids for the next 24 hours especially but can anyone recomend any over the counter medicines that might work to ease some of the symptoms for her like tomorrow and tomorrow evening until the wedding? is there anything a dr. could prescribe?

Best is to take Vitamin C supplements. Drinking water also with a dash of lemon is also helpful. The best way to combat flu is to just sleep and plenty of liquids.

Is she truly does have the flu, have her go to her MD and they will do a test, if it is within, I believe, 36 hours or so of getting the flu, they can prescribe Tamiflu that can help shorten the course of the flu.
