FLU! Im coughing till i throw up, my body aches, and my nose wont stop running! Ive tried every medicine!?

Answer 1

IF you have had this set of symptoms for more than a few days, I think you should consider going to the doctor b/c these symptoms can be coming from something other than the normal flu, comething completely unrelated to the nature of what we all call the flu(which has no real cure anyway). The traditional things we take for flu are really treating the symptoms, easing them. I certainly don't take chances these days with pandemics running all over the place. Hope ya feel better.

If you can, go to the doc and see if it is the flu, and not something else. Not trying to find out exactly, but where do you live. Are kids in school getting sick. Hopefully not the bird flu, that the world is trying to scare us with. This weather we have been having is awful, and it's no wonder we are getting sick. Maybe it could be something in your house that you are having a reaction to. the pollin is awful so far this year also. So until you are sure what you have, I wouldn't take to much of anything. Hot chicken soup, tea with honey, a nice hot bath, and tylenol, plus sleep if you can. If you have kids, or are married, have your hubby watch them and go to bed. I look at it this way, if he helped make them, he can watch them. You need to take care of yourself, before you get to sick, and end up in the hospital. I really hope you get better, and good luck.

A cold and the flu cause many of the same symptoms. But a cold is generally mild, while the flu tends to be more severe.
Some prescription medicines can relieve flu symptoms. These medicines may help reduce the severity of symptoms if they are started soon after you begin to get sick.

Answer 4

I think you have either allergy or some infection. It's better you consult a medical doctor and go for sputum AFB test to exclude Tuberculosis.
Aches & pains are due to your strenuous efforts for coughing, don't worry for that. Plenty of fluids, honey in luke warm water, Vitamin C supplement, citrus fruits, green vegetables, soup(s) etc can be of some help. Alopathy (medical science) has problems with allergy as there are bilions & billions of allegens ( the causative agents for allergy). Patients are in better position to identify their allergens, as they get worst or develop symptoms, when they are exposed to the allergen(s)/dust.

Answer 5

Go to a doctor. You could have a bacterial lung infection or a severe case of the flu. Only antibiotics will clear up a bacterial infection.

Answer 6

Accept, first, that these symptoms are normal. They are the way for your body to stop the spread of the virus, and get it under control, no matter how uncomfortable that may be. Take antiviral herbs like licorice, if you like, and ginger and garlic and lemon tea. Don't eat dairy or wheat!

You really need to go to the doctor. By the way you said it, it sound really serious. You may have some unknown disease, and this type of situation needs proffesional and medical care. Coughing till you throw up is very serious!!! So please please...watch yourself. Good luck!
