Answer 1

You could be tested to see if it's influenza A or B. Tamiflu can help lessen the time if that's it. If not, extra vitamins, Tylenol or Advil for pain, extra fluids nd rest might help.

Answer 2

Take vitamin c. The FDA says that the RDA for vit c is 64 mg a day. Linus Pauling who got a Nobel Prize for his work on vit c and a second Nobel Prize for organic chemistry says 1000 mg a day normally and 2000 mg a day if you are sick. Try it. A few years ago there was a research paper out that said Interferon was the best cancer and infection fighter available, but it was $15,000 a gram. What the paper also said was that Interferon was the product of the natural breakdown of vit c in your system. Shortly after that paper came out the FDA tried to put vit c on prescription only. Guess why?? I had "something" that had me sick 2 weeks twice a year with at least one week in the middle flat on my back. After 25 years of doctors not knowing what it might be I started vitamin C therapy when I got sick. I took enough to keep me asymptomatic and just below too much to give me diarrhea. It followed a bell curve over 2 weeks and at the peak I was taking 40,000 mg a day with 300,000 mg over 2 weeks. I did that when I got sick for 2 years and have never gotten sick in the last 10 years. Look into it.

Answer 3

This could be because of muscle fatigue or dehydration. Try exercising all parts of your body. It also sometimes is due to disuse atrophy. Consult a doctor if it persists. You can also look for information in the web. I found this website very useful. http://aches.in/cramps.html
