What do you recommend for part of the flu and strep infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Since the flu is a virus the only thing that works is time a symptomatic relief of fever and body aches with tylenol, (acetaminophen) rest and hydration. Strep is a bacteria and often needs antibiotics to get rid of it.
