You will be fine!: Good morning, i come across similar situation frequently during my encounter with our free-clinic-patients. Do not worry; at 43 years of age, your immune system will take care of you, without any medication. Tylenol, (acetaminophen) vitamin c, and inhalation of steam will reduce symptoms and make your life less miserable. Getting a flu shot next year at places like cvs will be affordable, cheaper than medications.

Influenza: Although the majority of persons with influenza (or influenza-like illness) will get better spontaneously with time, some become critically ill. If you have fever, shaking chills, difficulty breathing, profound weakness, go to an emergency room.
