Influenza

[Anonadvicepls]

So I've been diagnosed with the dreaded flu and it's hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm on day 4, can do simple tasks, but man the cough is so bad I swear I've done damage to my back and ribs, it's making me heave. GP says need someone checking on me & if get worse then A&E.

Anyone got any remedies or anything that helped them get through it?

I can barely sleep because of the congestion! Also, what's with the sweating 😓

Sudafed nasal spray was a game changer for my husband with the flu a few weeks ago! Hoping you turn a corner soon xxx

Will try source that! So congested it's vile 🤧 I've been breathing in steam with no much results x

Deffo try the spray, I think if you can clear some of the congestion it suddenly becomes a little bit more bearable xx

hoping you're feeling brighter now and the nasal spray helped?

Hi yes thanks the spray definitely helped! I ended up with a sinus infection following the flu so antibiotics and now have laryngitis, it's been thrilling especially as a single mum! :-/

I’ve got it atm . I feel like I can’t eat coz I’m so bunged up I can’t breathe enough to eat . My throat feels like it’s burning . I’m working thru the symptoms day by day I’m on day 4 aswell . Hopefully we feel better tomorrow I’ve just put some honey into a cup of hot water with a lemsip .

Oh no! There's still so much going round! You'd think by April, things would be easing up. Sending lots of well wishes to you (both!) xx
