Flu or COVID-19?: If "flu tablets" means an effective antiviral drug such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and there's been no improvement, probably you don't have influenza but some other viral infection. It could be COVID-19; if you have not been tested for coronavirus, ask your doctor about it ASAP. Good luck.
