Flu
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to see that you are suffering with flu like symptoms. You have a low grade fever that has been bothering your for 2 days. The fever should break by tomorrow morning. To help with the symptoms I recommend continuing with the ibuprofen but also use tylenol in between to help keep your fever controlled. Antibiotics are only good for bacterial infections and will not help at all with flu or other viral illnesses.
