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

I feel too hot, but shivering with ridiculous leg aches and pains I’m in gods hands 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@Dillywilly9000u still w us?
Thank you ( I caught it taking care of my daughter this is pretty bad🤮
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
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 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.
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.
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 🙏🏾
Wow, drugs drugs drugs and side effects. Nah.
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 had the flu vaccine and I’m still laying here with the worst flu ever 😮
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!
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! ♥
Flu shot does nothing
Absolutely nothing. I think it makes poeple more likely to get the flu
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
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.
It’s almost been three weeks my ears kinda unclogging at this point still can’t hear that well, I still have a little mucus and a cough I’ve been on so many different meds at this point and screaming missing out on work. I just wanna be better I feel like I can’t even breathe. I feel you have a heart attack going up the steps.
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.
I hope you're better know it's not easy to be a parent 😢
@@ahmedcade5139 I am. It was awful for a few days. But I’m up and good as new!
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!
You know your flu bad when you come to youtube for help😢😂😂😂
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.❤❤❤
anyone else salivating a lot because your throat hurts??
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.
Most jobs will make you a target for going on sick leave cos they think your faking it to get days off. People have bills to pay as well
Flu shots are 30% useful.
WHY DO I GET A COLD AT THE WORST FLIPPING TIME- 💀💀 IT'S RIGHT BEFORE THE EASTER TERM AH
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
0:06 terraria burp sound?
Wall of flesh burping out those worms😂
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
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.
Raw garlic and ginger tea.
What works for me is chips, dried cranberries/any dried berry and water.
It’s really weird I know, but it works for me when I feel like I’m gonna die from the flu.
I don’t even question it, if it works it fking works and it works fast.
Ye good luck sleeping with such pain in the throat that wont go away no matter what medication i take for sore throat and also the fever that everyone tells me not to reduce and to leave it going. 3rd night of 3 hrs sleep ...
This POS of flu has made me lose all dignity. I just had a shower and threw up and shat myself at the same time. GOD, is this how it ends🙏
If you think your flues the worse it's ever been? Maybe it's time to review your eating and exercise habits. Comorbidities and obesity are a way bigger problem.
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
Last bad flu was 2 years ago. I am currently have flu and it’s similar to what I have before
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.
Now, you lost all credibility. A buyers for the vaccine industry .
bruh ur a doctor? how about eat healthy and dont take flu shots and drugs Xd...
My flu brought me here , I have a compromised immune system, and I can’t get rid of it
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
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'm pushing fluids despite feeling too weak to control my bladder.
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 think my flu shot didnt work this year :(
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 feel like this is a drugs ad.
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…
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 hate my coworker.
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!
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 🙏🏾
You lost me on taking the flu vaccine. I am completely done with vaccines. Never again.
Earth is flat
Ok, I stopped listening after the first thing this guy recommended was the flu jab. Anyone who has taken the flu jab knows it’s futile. I was hoping for some organic methods but this guy is just a mouth piece for the Pharmaceutical companies. Same really.👎
do you understand how the vaccine works?
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.
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
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.
Does taking all these flu meds weaken your immune system so that you’re making it more likely to keep getting sick again and again
Saying this as I have multiple family members and relatives that get the jab every year and are sick as heck every year or even multiple times and year. I’ve never got the flu jab and never get a flu.
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....
3 grams of Tylenol? How the hell do I convert that? It’s not cocaine
What about NAC?
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 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.
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
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!
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 😂
My cousin doesn't listen to advice from doctors. He rarely gets the flu.
You see I use my own immune system, not some vaccine
And I’m still alive
I drink fresh lemon water.
I woke up with the worst headache of my life today 💀
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?
You might want to look at the recent meta-study of of the flu shot. They were shown to be basically useless.
I find it hard to eat on the best of days. Add the flu and i have dropped about 5kgs over 2 weeks.
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.
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 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 😭
Tysm, I actually have the flu rn, and am trying to get better, this helped a lot
Same 🤧
i’m sick rn… its no joke
Got the flu shot a few months ago and today I have fever, chills, coughs. Why is that? Really disappointed.
i always eat healthy,but its SO hard to eat while sick like this. I have literally no appetite whatsoever. My lastmeal was breakfast 8 am, YESTERDAY. Its 7pm and over a day since ive eaten and i have no desire to, is this normal? Should i make myself eat? oh and BTW I just got the flu shot for the first time back in August, its literally useless 🥲
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.
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.
On day 3 and I haven’t been able to sleep all day. At best I sleep for 1 hour. This flu is driving me nuts
How are you now I came down with flu in Tuesday evening thought I was doing ok earlier and feel just as bad this evening
I currently have the same thing. For 2-3 weeks worst ever. I feel soooooo exhausted 😩
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
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...
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
I hate this flu :///
I have the flu
Having flue while you are in vacation is the worst like I didn't pay all this money just to get sick 😢 like I just need 4 days to chill is to much for me
Make sure you enter flu season with optimal vitamin d levels first.
Help I am having a severe flu symptoms including headache that is most intense, dry heavy chest cough, fever and chill. Can’t get up from bed and I am living alone.
Every year the symptoms is getting worse and this year is the worst ever.
Some years I’ve got the flu vaccine and some I haven’t. I didn’t notice any difference when it came to the flu bug. But that’s just me.
I currently have Influenza type A,
Currently on day 4 of fever chills and fatigue. Times like this i dont want to be a parent and have dependants to look after
They dont work
In addition to what the good doctor promotes, I resorted to my tried and true methods. I laid around the house and received breakfast in bed along with daily foot massages. FU Flu!
Wonderful!
How about Nebulizer? Nebulizing iodine, and distilled water at the right dosing helps clearing out the airways and fight bad thing in those airways, right? I’m surprise you don’t mention nebulizers.
I'm f ing so sick with flue, i think, and this new year won't be fun. My back / lungs hurt. I'm scared. Last time i felt this i had infected lung lining a enlarged hearr found out i had pneumonia and my hearr never went to noal found i had mitral valve prolaps and ankylosing spondylitis
This’s the worst flu i ever got i checked all the symptoms you said
I’ve never experienced muscle and joints pain with the flu before and it’s so bad i can barely move
When recovering from an illness or long treatment, there are several strategies you can follow to promote faster recovery:
1. **Rest**: Allow your body ample time to recuperate. Avoid pushing yourself too soon. Prioritize relaxation and get plenty of sleep-healthy adults need between 7.5 and 9 hours of sleep each night¹.
2. **Stay Hydrated**: Being sick can be exhausting, so drink plenty of fluids. Aim for an 8 fl oz (240 mL) glass of water every few hours to replace lost fluids. Nutrient-rich drinks like bone broth, vegetable broth, or coconut water are also beneficial¹.
3. **Eat Healthily**: Gradually reintroduce nutrient-rich foods into your diet. Avoid processed or fatty foods. Try smaller, lighter meals throughout the day and consider a green fruit and vegetable smoothie for essential nutrients¹.
4. **Ease Muscle Aches**: Use gentle heat to soothe soreness and muscle aches. Warm compresses or a warm bath can be helpful¹.
Remember, positive thinking, relaxation, and social support also play a significant role in your recovery². Take care!
