Accepted Answer

Flu is flu: Flu is a variable illness that most healthy people tolerate &amp; self heal without problems including that strain. You can reduce symptoms/intensity if you start an anti-viral like tamiflu within the first 48-72 hrs, but less so if started later. In general I find it has been less intense than some strains.

Accepted Answer

Not normal: It is never normal to have blood in your stools. That said, it doesn't mean it has to be due to something serious as hemorrhoids are both common & a common cause of blood in stool.

See a GI doctor.
