FIGHTING A FLU IN AMERICA

HELP!!!



I've caught a flu.
And I have no idea which drugs I can buy without prescription.
The lady in a Korean drug store sold me some Japanese herbal candies,
which have the following inscription:

"Support health of the respiratory system and refreshes at the same time.
This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease."

neutral

I'm also taking ADVIL.

But what else can I buy???



This is urgent.
I'm supposed to have a hot date tommorow neutral
I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt.

Are you sure that it is not just a heavy cold? Flu would knock you out for days and would take days to recover.

Beechams Extra Strength Cold and Flu are very very good. Drink plenty and rest. Normally colds are three days coming and three days going.

Also to shift that blocked nose use Sudafed Nasal Spray. It will keep you clear for 8 hours.

All the best

I have never had flu in America so i am not qualified to comment. wink

Hell ,man sorry to hear you are feeling rough, there is loads you can take but in my experience all the cold and flu type products simply surpress it and it takes longer to actually recover.

If you can i would take ibuprofen to help a little and get your temp down and sit it out, steam baths for your nose to clear it,plenty of fluids and fresh air.

Good luck mate rose

I never had the flu in the US. I have known ppl that did and the docs usually gave them Tamiflu early on.
I have caught some sort of bug here. It sucks to feel ill.

I hope you get better soon.

Only problem with that is you get a headache from trying to pronounce the name.

Warm Bath + Vicks Vaporub massage + Whiskey + Bed = end of flu. Sleep a good 10-12 hours straight a night for 2 to 3 nights in a row. You'll be good to go.

Good recommendations. But I don't think I've ever seen Buckley's stuff in the States.
