9 days ago I was hit with a nasty case of the flu. It came on very very quickly, with chills, fever, extreme tiredness, and pain. About 8 hours after it began I was at the docs. Given Tamiflu, cough med, for the cough she said would follow, and meds for nausea. By Tues I'm feeling much better. Then on Fri it hits me again. Chills, temp of 102,body aches and I haven't been able to get out of bed for more than a few minutes up until now. What is going on? Did I get the flu again? Is there anything else I can do, this being in bed thing is getting old.

So am I contagious again? still? How long until I can go back to work? I've already missed a week.

the flu can relapse, you still carry the virus for about a week after you get over the symptoms. if you dont get rest and get vitamins, itll come back.

yes you can get the flu again.sometimes the med's the Dr give you are not string enough and it doesn't get the infection away so it comes back.Do you still have a temperature and how high.i would call the Dr and he will give you stronger med's.If you want to talk more about this im me or email me on AOL @mtg072@aol.com.plus i know alot about this because i helped my Friend threw med school and i know alot about this topic.
