Hello doctors, i already took a flu shot this year but still i got flu. whats kind of medicine can help?

Natural remedies: Unfortunately getting the flu shot doesn't guarantee you won't get the flu; it often does not work. I do not recommend the standard drug, Tamiflu, as it may only help if started within 24 hours, at most reduces symptoms by 24 hours, is pricey and has flu symptoms as a side effect. However, a variety of herbs and supplements can help, as can homeopathy. See https://tinyurl.com/zeccbso for details.
