- How do you get rid of the flu in 24 hours? For most healthy people, the flu is an uncomfortable but short-term illness that resolves itself as the immune system fights it off. Symptoms usually appear from one to four days after exposure to the virus, and they last five to seven days

GBU
I feel too hot, but shivering with ridiculous leg aches and pains I’m in gods hands 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@Dillywilly9000u still w us?
I'm on day 5 of the worst flu that I've ever had. I was in Vegas last week for a conference. Went with around 25 people from work and so far, I'm the only one who's sick 🙄. Fever, chills, sore throat, headache, body aches, sensitive skin, and coughing. Best of luck to all of you out there battling this virus.
I’m on the longest one ever, day 10 and back to absolute misery
Same, out of work still day 5
i got the flu right now 🥴
why is it that it only attacks one person in packed with? the same thing happened to me at a local party and out of all my friends i was with none of them got the sickness smh
Was in vegas for the super bowl. Got the flu & was sick literally that monday
As someone who has a history of migraines, a flu headache was perhaps the most intense headache I've ever had. Thank God that is over. God bless those who are still struggling 😊
Facts I have a bad headache now
How long did it take you to get over it I'm on tamiflu rn about 4 days in and I'm losing my mind I feel delusional I've NEVER had the flu since I was a young kid this is the worst I've ever felt and I had a stomach ulcer rupture god bless any of you going through this stay strong
@vT_Haunt Sorry to hear that. It took me about a week. The first three or four days were perhaps the most painful, given the excruciating headache. After that, however, the symptoms became more mild and bearable. Hang in there and get some rest. It will be over soon. : )
@nanogamer4546 thank you brother
Same!! The flu headache is the absolute worst!!! However mine felt more like a migraine intense sharp shooting pains on my left side temple Area non stop throbbing I won’t to emergency because I felt it could be a aneurysm it was that bad! Prayers to all suffering 🙏🏾
As a cancer survivor myself, I hv a weak immune system. I’ve not had a flu in years UNTIL this past week. I was literally in so much pain in my stomach I was screaming in pain. I was so weak I could barely stand. It began with a uti which landed me in the ER. I believe I got the flu from there. The ER was packed, Dr’s were overwhelmed and were mean! Stay away from the ER is my advice.
Same thing happening to me now...😔hope u get well soon
R u telling my story? The same happened to me too 😢
@@chiroylitatoshkandiy8808 same with me and I'm even a cancer patient
@@PakistancricketeditsbyAbdullah May God eases your pain, and sends you a cure for you. 🤲🏻
I had that 2 days ago, it felt like my stomach was being crushed.
I believe I have the flu right now. Started with scratchy throat Tuesday night, Wednesday morning I had sore throat, mucus, chills, fever of 100.3, body aches, headache. Thursday I started to get congestion & cough. Today is Friday & it was hard to get out of bed. Felt like I got hit by truck. It hurts to cough. My back & ribs hurt. I also started getting sweats & chills. I haven't had the flu in over 20 years. I think I ate too much fast food, desserts & sodas since Thanksgiving, so lowered my immune system. Also ran out of mushrooms a month ago. Need to get back to my paleo, low carb lifestyle.
I think one of the best things we can do is have these OTC medications in your house, ready to go should you get sick. Nobody wants to go to the store when you are sick with the flu, it is indeed awful stuff
OTC medications are unnecessary and a waste of money. Have Tylenol or ibuprofen around but that’s all you need.
Currently have a flu -A
Worse flu I had in my life , COVID wasn't even this bad..
Same right now, hope you’re better
U good now?
@@desk1590 yep yep 👍
Iv got it now hell
@@deborahburrows3282 get well soon I'll say a prayer
I had the flu vaccine and I’m still laying here with the worst flu ever 😮
After two weeks of hard core symptoms, I'm finally feeling better. Everyone in my house, me, hubby and 2 sons (20 and 17) are just now getting over it. The body aches after a coughing fit was intense and it just seemed to go on forever. Nothing to mess with. I'm glad we are on the other side of it now.
Did you have neck pain and headache for a long time ?
I do light band exercise, and I do light isometrics, light yoga and meditation daily I recover quickly when I'm ill.
I am bedridden with flu b. I have asthma and an at risk for severe disease. But when my 11 month old got sick, he needed me to comfort him, hold him, and make him feel ok. So I took the risk…for him. Now I feel like I may have to go to the hospital. But no regrets, that’s the job. That’s what being daddy is about. Pray for me, please. 🙏
Are you better? I'm currently dealing with the flu
Good man! It's all worth it as they'll remember that support.
SUMMARY:
1. Antiviral drugs (0:21)
2. Elderberry (1:14)
3. OTC drugs (2:02)
4. Stay hydrated (4:10)
5. Healthy diet (4:45)
6. Enough sleep (5:24)
#4 through #6 should be your normal routine at all times, even when you're not sick. Along with vaccination, these steps help with prevention as well. Even if you woke up in an alternate universe with NO infectious diseases, #4 through #6 should still be part of your normal routine.
I've been avoiding all junk foods and restaurant foods due to the pandemic. Although I made a limited return to them in October (which I wouldn't have done had it not been for my updated COVID booster in September), I'm once again fully avoiding all junk foods and restaurant foods for the third consecutive winter. Some things taste better than skinny feels, but NOTHING tastes better than healthy feels.
Other suggestions from me:
7. Get enough Vitamin D: I supplement with Vitamin D3 to keep my blood Vitamin D level in the upper part of the normal range (60 to 80 ng/mL).
8. Eat fruits containing enzymes: These are the fruits that do NOT belong in jello but do belong in your diet. It's said that these enzymes (which break down proteins into amino acids) fight inflammation and may even have antiviral properties. I eat pineapple, papaya, kiwi fruit, and a fig nearly every day. The first three are available at Aldi and other grocery stores. Trader Joe's has dried figs.
9. Eat probiotic foods: This includes yogurt, kefir, natto, and probiotic sauerkraut. (Sorry, the sauerkraut made with added vinegar does not count.) I treat probiotic foods as an essential food group and consume at least a modest amount a few times per day.
10. Antiviral nasal spray: You can buy Xlear, or you can make your own cheaply with distilled water, salt, xylitol, and grapefruit seed extract. I've added this to my daily routine. Xylitol is said to reduce viral loads by making it more difficult for viruses to attach to cells. While other precautions are essential and more proven, NONE of them do anything about viruses in the stagnant environment of your nasal passages.

Many thanks 🙏🏻😊
ugh thank you so much
Nice summary 👌
*You da Man!* Thanks! ♥
Our body temperature spikes for good reason… to fight off infection. Let your fever run it’s course!
Yep sweat it out I'm old-school
Don’t let it get too high or you will die.
But not too high. Very high fever can cause severe dehydration and blindness
Flu needs time to heal
My temperature was 103 and I’m 36 years old and my heart rager was 138 and did not go done without pain medication or two bags of IV fluids… do not let your fever run its course ppl die from the flu!! A high temperature is a sign of illness
@@AleashaLatrease You are correct! a high fever is a sign of illness. You body's metabolism increases (hence the fever and increased heart rate) to fight off the infection. Our Bodies are amazing!
I’ve got the flu right now and it’s the worst flu I’ve ever had. Last night I had a fever of 105F and tonight it’s around 102F. This case of the flu makes me feel like I’m going to die with constant headaches, body aches, coughing, and not being able to sleep. I hope that nobody else has to get this same type of flu because this is just awful.
This! I’ve never had a cold/flu last more than 5 days. And now it’s day 10, absolute misery
Where do you live sounds like I got what you have I'm in florida hopefully this isn't disease x lol
Yes I am in this boat. I can not sleep for the life of me. I have taken night flu meds and I still can’t sleep!! HELP
How are you now bro?
How many days was in total ? @@KarlaEmmerson
i will never underestimate the flu again. im getting the shot every single year
Flu jab doesn’t stop you getting the flu. You do realise there are many strains
Tamiflu caused serious ulceration in my mouth and throat pretty quickly after starting it, known as Steven’s-Johnson’s syndrome. Pay attention to that. It may be rare, but it can be fatal. Also, I knew DMT, Dextromathorphan, didn’t agree with me but when I got COVID, my doctor said, “go ahead and take it every 12 hours. Desperate, I did that. I awoke one morning feeling euphoric, then horribly nauseated. I started toward the bathroom where I had an anti nausea medication. Weak, I went to my knees trying to open the package and passed out. Never happened before. My wife is a nurse. She took my blood pressure every few minutes because it was low and kept dropping. It got so low she was going to call the squad. I was still feeling very sedated and really didn’t care that I was in danger of losing consciousness again. At that point, I became alarmed and my BP started recovering. Moral of this is LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! It tells you if something agreed with you or not.
Me , my husband and our five yr old is sick. I took a covid test, which came back negative. The dr prescribe these and for me and my husband. I read all the side effects and it really scared me. I have no taken them. I’ve been drinking water, coconut water, vit C packets, Orange juice and lemon ginger tea with probiotics and a multivitamin and Tylenol for body aches. I pray everyone gets well and healthy in Jesus Holy name as well as my family. I have been sweating something out but I don’t have a fever not a slight headache.❤❤❤
I've had the flu for two days and my body aches were out of this world. I could barely stand up. I saw this video when it was first uploaded, and realized I was taking acetaminophen instead of ibuprofen. I switched and feel so much better now. Thank you.
Yes, I've only had actual influenza 2x in my life but both times were awful. OxyContin did NOTHING for the muscle/bone pain. I was lucky enough to have a bottomless supply during my 2016 bout of the flu but WOW did it not help. My cousin's son got a rare sleep disorder from influenza A; his whole life has been turned upside down. We now know narcolepsy is autoimmune & can be triggered by flu after it was caused by a batch of Pandemrix flu shot in 2009 in Sweden. Avoiding flu or minimizing your exposure is really important.
I am 16 and have a very bad FLU. Exams started yesterday. But with the help of Bhagwan, I am gonna heal like Wolverine. And give exams. Best luck to all my other fellas suffering. We'll rock this....
The flu is waaaaaay harsh this year! I went to my doc and got my flu vaccine and as the nurse was injecting me an employee called me and asked me to come in an relieve him because he was very sick. I went to the office and sent him home. The next day, I developed a little cough and the following day, it hit me like a train. Fever, chills and body aches. My BP was elevated and my heart rate was up in the 90s. I just treated it symptomatically and in four days, everything seemed to get better. My fever broke then came back then finally broke for good. My heart rate returned to the normal 60s and my BP returned to normal. I thought I had kicked it. About eight hours later the coughing became relentless as I felt it settling in my lungs. It was brutal. I ended up in the ER the night before Thanksgiving and the kept me overnight in the hospital for respiratory therapy. I'm still coughing because the flu left me with post-infection Bronchitis. Things are getting better daily now but I have not been this sick in 20 years. My flu shot didn't protect me because it didn't have time to build any immunity before I was exposed. This must be a VERY bad flu strain because I know of two other people with similar stories who both ended up in the hospital. The flu is no joke this year. Get your flu shot!
Were they both vaccinated too? My husband and 3 of my children had influenza last month and it knocked them on their butts for 24-36hrs but aside from my husband all of my kiddos recovered quickly. It def hit my husband the hardest but he is overweight and has beginning stages of COPD (thanks to burn pits) and none of us are vaccinated. Also worth noting is my one son and I did not get the flu and I was the one that was sleeping with my little ones. I was sure I would get it since they were coughing in my face all night long but I think I must have had previous immunity 🤷♀️
@@meganplacidi4919 I've been very healthy so I was surprised that the flu hit me so hard. I know of a couple of other people who were also hospitalized with influenza so I know it's not just me. I would not wish it on anyone.
Poor thing. God should bless YOU. May your recover quickly. -non-native speraker.
@@chuckmurray1825 Being "very healthy" helps you recover, not avoid illness, right? The flu is the flu. It's horrible and people forget how horrible. Having previous immunity is what helps you avoid it. I think a lot of people mix these two things up and that's why not enough people got vaccinated and caused this huge surge!
I thought I got over the flu and two weeks later it hit me again. I thought I was the only one
I didn’t get a flu shot this year and got hit with a bad cold. I was in bed and could not do anything for 3 days. Only time I got up was to go to the restroom or eat. Even taking a shower was a struggle for me.
I do cardio everyday and strength training 2 days a week and good with my diet (in general), and take vitamins regularly.
what vitamin D level are you at?
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 it’s been years since the last time I got tested and it was really low. My doctor told me to take 2000 IU everyday which I’ve been doing since.
@@whereisnemo9272 I was in top shape similar to your regimen and influenzaB laid me low for weeks. My vitD was single digits, Then I started 5000/day. When I got covid it was a mild 2-3dAY EVENT.
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 I caught covid too back in July. That wasn’t as bad as I thought. Although it was comparable to the cold that I caught recently. I would hope my vitamin D level is at normal level since I’ve been taking supplements for at least 5 years. In addition to that, I also take Zinc and B complex (all from Costco 😊). Only thing I could think of that made me sick longer is my age. I’m 47 and in perimenopause. Which is why I have been keeping up with cardio and added strength training not too long ago. My doctor wouldn’t let me take hormones, so I needed to find a way to help the symptoms.
You improved your natural immunity like you should then! Congrats!
I never had the vaccine. I eat well, sleep, don’t stress, workout, and I haven’t been sick in years.
Facts, me too 💙 my observations of others, the jabbed get sick more often.
You probably have less social interaction
Smart man, I had decades of illness after a flu shot adverse reaction
Everyone’s immune system is different
Do you have kids? If you have kids you will get the flue and many other things from them
Since going keto/paleo over 2yrs ago, I haven't had a regular cold or flu since. Got over covid within a week followed by a lingering cough now and then for two weeks. No medical intervention, just good diet.
I’ve had flu twice that I can know of and the last thing I wanted was to eat anything! Chicken broth, maybe, or just herbal, caffeine-free, tea. I think the body tells us when to eat again, the appetite comes back.
I’m 3 days into my current flu. Terrible headache, diarrhea, cough, minor chest pain, fever…etc. I’d love some words of encouragement
Dealing with it as well. You got this. Hopefully upure healed up now.
I hope you are well now I’m looking for remedies for the flu right now if you have any suggestions help a friend
I'm 8 days In to the flu it ruined my 42nd birthday last week some eh ha
I got over the flu a few days ago but now I’m going thru something that has me worried, I don’t have an appetite I barely want to drink anything outside of water, I got aches all over my body but no fever. When I try to eat I’ll eat a few bites then I don’t want it anymore and it could even be one of my favorite foods. All I wanna do is drink water and nothing else
1.) Stay tf HOME & in bed, not at work/school/the grocery store where you're spreading your illness to everyone & their immunosuppressed grandma. Rest is best for you & protects everyone around you. Getting everyone else sick doesn't benefit your workplace or school regardless of what your boss/teacher might think. Make your health (and that of your child!) a priority.
Yeah but like I have too much absences...
Dang dont be crying wolf
Some people can't "stay tf home" 😒 because there's no one to take their place at whatever they have to do whether it's simply running errands or working etc don't assume everyone has the option/ can afford to do that cause right now I'd love to rest all day with this fever I have but I'm running out of food, live alone and there's no delivery service where I live so I must go get whatever I need by myself.. what I can do though is interacting with people as little as possible and maintain distance etc that's doable and kind of common sense
Monolaurin is indeed the ultimate life saver, but make sure that you get only the Abs Pure Monolaurin as they are the first and only brand that comes with pure Monolaurin without any of the harmful additives such as silicon, silica, stearates, rice filler etc. Try it, you will be glad you did and post a reply here so that others can benefit from it as well.
anyone else salivating a lot because your throat hurts??
I’m down bad with the flu right now. It’s no joke and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. At it’s peak, it was horrible! Thought I was dying. Praying for better days.
Hang in there… I’m On day 7 just now feeling a glimpse better 🙏🏾
There is no flu season just low Vit D season.
some day the word will get out.
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 unfortunately no way big farm rules!
Shhhh
You know your flu bad when you come to youtube for help😢😂😂😂
I woke up with the worst headache of my life today 💀
WHY DO I GET A COLD AT THE WORST FLIPPING TIME- 💀💀 IT'S RIGHT BEFORE THE EASTER TERM AH
My flu brought me here , I have a compromised immune system, and I can’t get rid of it
Got it first time this year, 3 days of 40C is no fun, then 2 days 39C, now back to normal. Sweating at night like I’d be swimming… coughing, headache, generally lousy feeling and blocked lungs with much mucus…
Thanks for all you do, Dr Mike. Happy Holidays all!!!
Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays, Dali. 🎄✨
@@DoctorMikeHansen Happy Holidays too, dr Hansen! I'm using palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) daily. It helps preventing flu, or curing it faster when you have it. Recent research even showed good results with Covid. PEA is researched a lot and has no side effects.
Dear Dr. Mike, thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot, I'm a retired Pharmacy Tech and I appreciate that you give such good detail about medications, too bad I had the flu 2 weeks ago. Ha! ❤️
Wonderful!
@@DoctorMikeHansen NOT MAKING ANYMORE COVID-19 VIDS, INTERESTING.
Good for you, those shots give me the flu for a year I end up stuck in bed. Turns out I do better with the illness and I rarely get sick wearing masks now
About twenty years ago, I was the only one in our family of four to get the influenza vaccine one fall. My sons were in high school. Neither had any chronic health problems. Both were competitive swimmers, in excellent condition. One after another, both sons and then my wife got influenza. It put each of them in bed for a few days with fever, chills, cough, fatigue. Our house is small and I made no attempt to isolate from them. Despite being exposed to three active cases in a row, I emerged unscathed. The vaccine can work very well! I’ve been getting them regularly for at least 25 years now and have never had a reaction worse than a sore arm.
None of this was new, but it was a good reminder. I’m currently on day three of flu B. It’s no joke. It may not be as bad as A, but I’ve felt pretty stinking bad. Ibuprofen has been a lifesaver, just as it was with C19.
A question: Our large family receives a gift of a 50 pound box of grapefruit each holiday season, and family really 'pigs out', even while trying to recover from Covid or flu (RSV too). We don't particularly take more meds than most families, but I am concerned about cautions about eating a lot of grapefruit along with periods of taking drugs. My concerns are not received very well, since I point out this potential problem each time we get the gifted box of grapefruit... so, I am wondering just how well-founded my concern might be?
HELLO!! Dr. Mike, thanks appreciate your information, greatly appreciated your the best. Have a wonderful great rest of your day, and your upcoming weekend as well.💯💯❤❤😊😊
Thanks, you too!
Tysm, I actually have the flu rn, and am trying to get better, this helped a lot
Same 🤧
I used to take a flu shot every year when I drove a school bus and I got sick every year! When I retired, i stopped! I do get sinus colds, but I've never had the flu.
Thank you so much for sharing such an informative video Dr. Hansen!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for these points. Very helpful.
I really need this informative video right now. You are beyond helpful! Thank you thank you thank you! No words can express my gratitude! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
@@DoctorMikeHansen Can you please make a video on how to drink water like how much at a given time and does drinking water with a meal raise blood glucose levels 🙏🏽
have type B flu right now and this is been the longest worse week of my life yall pray for me current day 6 aches and headache seem to have passed but still am nauseous
Same got type B feel like I'm dying 😂
You're the best Doctor thanks again God bless.
I don't always watch tips from doctors on TH-cam, but when i do they're named Mike
I have the flu right now. Terrible chills and aches. I thought I was going to die last night. Had a covid test done thus morning and it was negative.
Same thing. Just happen overnight. Went to bed early woke up with massive congestion in sinus. Dark yellow mucus. Strong dry sore throat, fatigue, and headache. 2nd day now much better after taking about 24 grams vitamin C powder(spread throughout day), vitamin D, lime water, salt gargle mouth rinse. The worse part is the appetite and taste. It's coming back but food does not taste as good.
Hey, wassup with having covid home test easily available, but no flu or RSV tests? Went to clinic and they only do covid test. Wouldn't antiviral help if flu test is easily available instead of waiting for test at the emergency room?
I need this I have the worst flu in the world I can’t stop throwing up and coughing and my nose is so stuffy if I try to breath through it I suffocate inside pray for me 😭
Sore throat and 👂 ears are killing me.
Thank you for the information!!
The flu this year is just another day at the office compared to the Spanish flu. However, if you took the Frankenberry it may kill you.
Your videos are very good and we appreciate them. "As a hearing impaired senior, I find it hard to hear your audio output. Also it would help if you could slow down a bit. Thank you for your informative videos.
Sorry about that, I will try to improve
You can also turn up your speaker and decrease the video playback of the TH-cam
I get sick at least 3 to 4 times a year. Coughs and colds and flu sometimes 2x during winter . There's nothing I can do I'm so used to it. But I find sweating it out works best on the day the flu is at its peak [ the day you feel you have to stay in bed and nothing else ]
I think that’s the best way to deal with it if you can
Oh god its so bad rn for me, i feel like a victorian era peasant who has been diagnosed with “Lungtwist”
Thanks Dear Doctor .
God Bless You 🙏👍❣️
Same to you
I get my flu vaccine, and it has really reduced any symptoms I get. previously when I got the flu I felt like I was dying. DM actually works on severe coughs for me if I have fluid behind it but not dry coughs. Lots of water. Tylenol in smaller doses like 500 mg every 6-8 hours for the worst of the flu, and I hibernate for 2-3 days. Colds last forever with me. I will cough for up to 5-6 weeks after catching one, even with my inhalers. I grew up catching everything, including at least once a year being diagnosed with bronchitis.
Me also feel like dying for 3 days and then cough for 3 weeks. Antihistamines only thing that works for my coughing
Oh yeah? I got the Flu shot 6 years ago & went blind from MS so no thanks ever again, I can see enough to get by now after intravenous treatments but I can't qualify to have a drivers licence
I got flus so many times in 2023. They all are very bad. Never had sickness so bad before, and they're not Covid. What's going on to virus these days. So many people around me got sick as well. It's like all viruses got an upgrade just like our inflated economy.
The thing I hate is the sleep part since when I wake up I won't go back to sleep and this virus will decrease my sleeping
My cousin doesn't listen to advice from doctors. He rarely gets the flu.
I always feel much better after having a bowl of hot soup!
I'll have a bowl two or three times a day when I have Cold or Flu symptoms, and they never get that bad.
It’s the warm liquid that is really beneficial!
So I got sick last week. I felt body aches on Sat. I felt a little tight in the lungs on Sunday, but generally I felt okay. Then Monday I got SICK. It didn’t come on as fast as Inthought the flue would. I tested negative for Covid a couple of times and then tested negative for flu. BUT I had a fever for about 36 hours on and off and got laryngitis - which I only had once in my life and that was with H1N1. It’s been 7 days and I am better but still very sick. What do you think about the efficacy of flu tests CVS might use? Is it still possible it is the flu? I am exposed to everything as a teacher… meanwhile, the cough is horrible (but my O2 is fine). Who knew the human nasal passages could hold so much mucus? Yikes. I’ve had ALL the vaccinations. This is a tough winter.
I have persistent coughs that stings bodyaches but mostly my back. Nothing helps 😣 but i feel just fine otherwise sometimes
Inquiring minds want to know what happened to the flu in late 2019, 2020 and 2021?
It still was around but to some degree it was pushed back by SARS-CoV-2, a more contagious virus. You are very unlikely to get all viral infections at once or one following another because the immune system is activated and stays alert for a moderate hike after you have recovered. That's why the regular flu was keeping a low profile for a few years. Since SARS-CoV-2 changed and we got used it, the flu is in the spotlight again.
STRANGELY DISAPPEARED
Great question. It completely disappeared during Covid for real.
You see I use my own immune system, not some vaccine
And I’m still alive
Drinking coffee does NOT cause dehydration. The entire idea of causability in this case was based on a test made in the 1920's with a test group of three persons. You can check this by yourselves, drinking one day a certain amount of coffee and another day the same amount of, say, water and then check how much you pee or lose weight. You won't find any significant difference.
They push this "dehydration" gospel. So if you are without water for two days in The Outback and someone offers you coffee, "No thanks, it might dehydrate me"
I've been sick 4 times in the last 8 years... The worst I've flu I've ever got was in the middle of summer after I took a flu shot. Maybe it's just me, but I don't do flu shots anymore and get sick less often.
same! the less shots the better.
One rat anecdote: for respiratory and/or sore throat--breathe in hot air--duration depends on severity and/or breathe in small amts of isopropyl alcohol (kills viruses on contact--see gov. year 2000 february covid study. Swallow wad of tooth paste to kill viruses in throat and early stomach flu. The forgoing have worked for me every single time since year 2020 for respiratory. For flu have experimented with stack of 3 garlic pills, 2 immune mushroom pills, and 8-10 cranberry pills. This absolutely works on bacterial infections e.g. in gums (over a couple of weeks). thought it might also have effect on viruses.
I have yet to get anything serious enough to test this stack but seems to have been effective, so far, against mild flu symptoms combined with above.
Thanks for the tips, I hope the flu shot matches this years flu and I don't come down.
You might want to look at the recent meta-study of of the flu shot. They were shown to be basically useless.
Last bad flu was 2 years ago. I am currently have flu and it’s similar to what I have before
Brilliant tips!
I had the flu in 1991. I've never had a flu jab. I don't get colds either.
Yeah okay grandpa, back to bed
I've had flu/flu like virus 5 times in four months now! This last time has caused a cough where I feel like my head is gonna explode, can't sleep at all sweating fever dreams etc my father wants me 2 go up the hospital 🏥 I've said no so he's fetched me over his n my brother put me in the spare room (bungalow so no stairs getting up getti g all out of breath for) got me some cough medicine paracetamol I can't take anti inflation tablets naw be a very bad out come, and I've now been taking fluoxacilin since yesterday as well hi feel like absolutely poop 💩 super weak like no strength at all like a new born kitty just crying out for my mother all the time wish I didn't feel like this, would not wish this on my worst enemy its horrible awful vile
Thanks for the video. However, your Sudafed picture will be confusing to viewers and is one of my pet peeves. You talked about taking pseudoephedrine, however, you put up a picture of Sudafed OTC (phenylephrine).
The are completely different medications and it’s important to note that the medication you mentioned Sudafed with pseudoephedrine is behind the pharmacy counter. Pseudoephedrine is not over the counter and will need to be purchased from the pharmacy staff directly. Thanks again for the video!
great concise info....perhaps future vlog on the ?positive role of mild outdoor exercise (walking the dog, walking to grocery store) while in the throws of a cold, flu.... Seems body may need some level of locomotion to push fluids around the system...
Going through this now. It’s brutal.
quick 1hr nap made me feel like new for abit.
Thank you for your videos. Happy New Year.
Thank you too
Can never recall having the flue. I'm dealing with it with now. Got chills, fever, now I just feel super tired no energy. Headache 😢 caugh. Tested for covid to make sure it wasn't covid. Came back negative. But this thing tough!! Got covid last year and it was horrible.
Dectromethorphan does work! But it only suppresses cough at higher doses that will also cause drowsiness so only take at bedtime.
Most employers now have terrible leave policies that encourage employees to work when they’re infectious. Otherwise, those sick days come out of one’s vacation time. This should be changed, people should stay home from work, or school, when they’re sick with such contagious diseases.
Hi Dr. Mike, I love your videos. I think the rebound congestion effect is from taking Afrin for more than 2 days, not from taking oral decongestants such as pseudoephedrine. All Afrin sprays even say on the carton not to take for more than 2-3 days. Thank you and Happy Holidays!
I was about to post this comment myself. I remember lots of news reports advising reduced usage of Afrin due to rebound.
Wow, drugs drugs drugs and side effects. Nah.
Flu shot does nothing
Absolutely nothing. I think it makes poeple more likely to get the flu
I haven't had the flu since 5th grade....I now have Flu A and B 😭😭😭 I do not wish this on anyone!!!
Thanks for your help
I'm pushing fluids despite feeling too weak to control my bladder.
I had a flu shot this year and still caught it 😭 symptoms aren’t as bad as they could be but I still feel terrible.
I'm 70, and have gotten a flu shot every year for the last 20 years. Last time i had the truth i was about 52.
@Marie Ross I wish I never started taking them.
@@mork07101960 why ?
With meds flu recovery take about a week... Without flu meds recovery time is usually only 7 days...
You can pick.
However sunshine D, C, Zn, enough sleep, flueds and a propper diet plays a huge role in the severety of the illness.
A week is 7 days Tom
🙏Thank You for your information🙏
Thanks doctor it means a lot 🙏
Dont forget flu bombs, minced garlic, ginger, lemon, turmeric black pepper, cayenne and raw honey.
3 grams of Tylenol? How the hell do I convert that? It’s not cocaine
Helping out the pharmacist’s duty
Do you have advice for avoiding developing long covid?
