Exam!: Go to a medical clinic as soon as possible for an exam. Flu antiviral drugs work best for treatment when they are started within 2 days of getting sick, but starting them later can still sometimes be helpful. Also, clean your sinuses with saline spray, use a vaporizer, drink a lot of fluids, get good nutrition with daily vitamins & rest in bed. I wish you well with your health!
