I have been struggling with a mild flu for the past two weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time: I would start with rest fluids and treat your symptoms. If you have a fever take paracetamol and cooling measures. If you have muscle aches take ibuprofen. If you have a runny nose take a decongestant and consider an anti-histamine. Take an anti-nausea medication if you feel sick. High dose vitamin C and garlic are thought to have some immune boosting properties. It should get better if not see GP
