A member asked:
How can i recover from influenza? seven days in, no appetite, kidneys hurt, coughing to the point of gagging.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: With influenza i would expect that by day 7 you should be starting to feel better. The cough especially if you are coughing up a discolored mucus may mean that you have developed a secondary bacterial infection and may need an antibiotic to speed your recovery. It may be time to see your doctor.
