I am 16 years old i have a problem with nose when the flue comes so it remains more time after taking so many medicines it leaves.is it harmful?

NO: Maybe you do not need so many medications. Viral illnesses can last 7-14 days regardless of what you do. For the flu you can take vitamin d and elderberry to treat ...And prevent it. Also stopping dairy and gluten may help speed your recovery.
