OneFluOverTheCuckoo: I just got over what you have and it SUCKS.If you haven't gotten the flu vaccine,or,really even if you have, you have a flu-like syndrome that can be just as sucky.My guess is that the worst will be over in 4-5 days but you'll have a lingering cough for another week or two.You need rest,fluids,aspirin or Motrin.Whatever you get over-the-counter is up to you. But if you get really bad see a doctor!
