Flu
Ok, i think i have the flu, and i keep coughing and my nose is all stuffy, but i don't have allergies. Would this be the flu? I already got my flu shot i thought though, so i wasn't sure... Anyway, does anybody know good ways to get rid of it fast? I an having a party in a week, and dont want to be sick for it. I tried all sorts of medicines, not all at the same time, but they just make me sleepy, and dont get rid of the cold. What else can i do? I've been drinking a lot of fluids. 14/f btw.

It is probably a cold or a virus. Ask your parents to take you to the doctors and maybe they can prescribe a medication that will actually work. Goodluck and hope you feel better

It could be the flu or just a cold. Whichever one you have, you should try medicine that says "non-drowsy" so you don't get sleepy. Medicine doesn't work right away so it'll take time. Drinking fluids is good...get in a lot of warm water and orange juice. Soup of course. Be sure to eat even if you're not hungry. If your throat hurts you can try drinking hot water with squeezed lemon or line WITH the shell and honey mixed together. Doesn't taste very good, but it works. lol. Get lots of bed rest and sleep.
By the way, just because you get a flu shot doesn't mean you won't get any flus. I learned that thanks to Biology class lol. Every sickness we get is a different one and you never get the same one again. Getting a flu shot is just a vaccination for one flu that doctors think most people are likely to catch this season.

Yes it could be flu. You will have to take a couple of days of rap up walm and enjoy been at home if you have to go to school. try lemon and honey sprup. Cant spell it well but hey. Get some fresh air aswell that will unblock your nose.

The medicines won't work straight away - and they mean to make you sleepy a lot of the time. Sleep is the best cure for flu :)
You might just have a really, really bad cold. With flu you'd also be all achy and tired (without the medicine). Either way, take it easy, sleep as much as you can, drink lots of water, and stay warm. Also, don't sniff when your nose is runny, blow! Otherwise you'll get catarr and feel bad even when your cold is over. Try getting lots of vitamin C too, through orange juice or supplement tablets.
I hope it goes away soon!!
Blessed Be,

It might not be the flu, sometimes it's just a common cold that you catch. It'll probably be gone in 2-3 days. Just try to sleep, and ask your mom/dad for a medicine they think would help you..since you've tried lots of them. Sleeping, resting, etc should help get rid of the illness faster. Hope you feel better!

P.S. - Just a tip, but if your nose gets really stuffy, lean down (forward) and then slowly come back up and tip your head back, and all the stuffies go away for awhile. Lol, just to help you out. :)
