Brief Answer:
I recommend tylenol every 6-8hours!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks you so much for this query.
I have reviewed your infection fully and it is suggestive of a flu cause by a virus. Treatment often consists in managing the pains, fevers and replacing fluids. Most of my patients would benefit from Tylenol, increased fluids intake, healthy diet and regular exercise. Most report significant improvement within 3days and complete cure by the 7th-10th day.
What matters is taking the drugs regularly and not simply waiting on when symptoms arise to take them. This way, all symptoms are well controlled and the body builds up and fights against the infection.
In all, tylenol every 6-8hours is sufficient. Increased fluids intake, healthy diet, rest and exercise is enough to get this condition treated unless something else comes up. If you have any other symptoms of concern, report to me for review and more recommendations.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you a speedy recovery. Feel free to request for more information and clarifications if need be. Thanks for using our services.
