A member asked:
Girlfriend came down with flu yesterday, feeling much better today, but aches persisting; how serious are the aches and when should they go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quickly: Hello If she is feeling better, no fever, eating/drinking, etc. then the aching should fade soon (next day or so). Encourage her to drink lots of clear fluids (gatorade, water, juice etc) to stay hydrated. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin is fine to take.
