HELP FLU ATTACK!!!!

[Celtic Lady]

My brother just got over that Bad dose of flu thats going around, he had it for well over two weeks and his wife had it for almost a month. They had to get emoxacilen to kick it.

Just wanted to point out that your brother and sister-in-law probably had something else going on as amoxicillan (or for that matter any antibiotic) does not affect viruses. Sadly one must let nature take it's course and let the body recover on it's own.

There is a drug now that is called Tamiflu and it reduces the symptms by half.  My hubby caught it on Thursday and was back to work on Tuesday...fever stopped Saturday night.  Great stuff, but is prescription.

And expensive!!!  And only works if taken within the first 48 hrs.
Had to get some for my son last week, costed $60 with insurance!!  There is no generic available and it is a top tier med.
