See below: What meds have u been taking for the flu? Have u been getting adequate fluids? Many cold/flu meds have anticholinergic effects, one of which is urinary retention. Read med labels carefully for info (otc) or ask doc about med side effects. Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water/juice a day. If urine problem persists, see doc 2 b checked for infxn.

Is your urine dark : In color? If your urine is dark colored, try drinking more water to see if it relieves the problem. If you do not start producing urine within about four hours of drinking 2-3 liters of water, it would be prudent to contact your doctor.
