Any suggestions for Flu meds?

Sorry you are under the weather. I usually just take tylenol when I get the flu. It's a viral infection so meds are not really going to help..just need to weather the storm. Just keep an eye on your hydration levels. The flu typically hits me really hard and requires me to get rehydrated via IV.

While on an immune suppressant, i think it's important to monitor your symptoms closely, and to be honest, if you have a fever, you should go get seen. If you had something bacterial and your immune system is compromised, it's very easy for that to turn into something serious. That said, I have had colds while on 6mp and I healed fine without medical intervention.

Thanks for the suggestions! By meds I meant fever reducers..I'll stick with the Tynenol and hope I get over this before Christmas. It's the first time I've had a fever in years..forgot how awful a high fever feels!

Flu HELL!!!!!!!!!!!! Even thinking is painful.

I so feel for you. All you can do is make sure you drink enough fluids, tea,soups, food..... whatever gives you comfort and helps balance your electrolytes after a fever.

I always take Sudafed (no more than a 60mg tab dosage at a time) to help reduce the stuffiness. My asthma meds are always doubled, for it always is exacerbated with colds and especially worse during the flu.

I steam myself and use a sinus rinse.

Absolutely Tylenol is taken every 6 hours.

I increase L-Lysine.

If I have a chest infection or extreme sinus infection, I always get a hold of my doctor and ask for Zithromax.

Please take good care....if all else fails, whining helps too ;-)

Cinnamon and honey....2 tbsp of honey and 1 tsp of cinnamon, mix together and nuke for 10 seconds. Tastes like crap but works wonders. Tylonel for body aches. Cinnamon and honey are a natural anti-inflammatory and honey also has natural antibiotic properties. These 2 are also very gut friendly.
