Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Usually most of the symptoms of flu will resolve in 1 week- 10 days but some symptoms like feeling tired and fatigue may last more.
Despite this a month or more is long time for flu symptoms.
If the symptoms still persist I would suggest to consult a physician and get examined.Some tests like complete blood count,blood sugar ,stool test (if you have diarrhea) might be necessary.
Your doctor cab prescribe you something for your stomach symptoms .A PPI drug like Omeprazole or Ranitidine for 2 weeks may help.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question or doubts to clarify.I would be happy to answer.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati

Thank you.
I have been taking Ranitidine fairly regularly over the last four weeks. It seems to help a little bit. The symptoms seem to come and go. I'll feel find for a day or for an afternoon, but then the symptoms return. Two years ago, I had a nasty bug that lasted a full month. This one isn't as bad but it's lasted just as long. (I've had no fever or chills.)
