Ok. so. here it goes..
I have DEFINITE influenza symptoms. Terrible coughing, high fever, nausea, congestion, achy, it hurts behind my eyes constantly, and just overall i feel like CRAP. I had a few questions I was hoping could be answered..:
1) do you need antibiotics if you have the flu and it just keeps getting worse over a period of four days?
2) Will the doctor make me stay home even if i'm not contagious? or am I always contagious?
3) How long does the normal influenza take to run it's course? I'd had progressing symptoms since Wednesday night.
4) Any good pill/capsule medication to take to relieve flu symptoms?
Thanks

Antibiotics cannot work against flu. this is because Influenza is caused by a virus, and antibiotics work against bacteria.
There is no cure for flu. Take painkillers.
