6-days. Cough gone. Fever gone. No secondary infections. And I am an "at risk" over 70 senior with diabetes AND heart issues.
I used to follow the bouncing ball. I ended up in Washoe Medical Center. Went into the flu with reddened eardrums, sore throat. Sometimes the medical community is extremely ignorant
"Huh? A pneumonia shot stops ear infections and reduces incidence of strep throat?" Yes. So says the Journal of The American Medical Association.
50% of the "discomfort" of influenza is caused by the superinfection not the virus.
Grand question...how about influenza, compounded by an inner ear infection PLUS strep throat? Can't happen? Yeah, right...
Bacterial Infections within the head AUGMENTIN. Amoxicillin plus Clauvanic Acid. Infections of the larynx and bronchial tubes CIPROFLOACIN Check with your doctor.
The Flu DOES NOT IN ANY WAY INVOLVE A "SORE THROAT"
