How Can Flu And Pneumonia Be Treated?

My question is: How long does it take to get over the Respiratory Flu that is an epidemic at this time? What happens if a person battles Pneumonia at the same time they have the Flu? Are their super meds/Anti-Biotics they can take to get well, and be back at work within 1 week? or not? thank you! R brown/Seattle

Hello,

Recovery may depend upon the agent means virulence of the virus and host means immunity status or vaccination status of the patient and environmental factors. So Take rest, drink plenty of liquids, use antibiotics if you developed pneumonia it may take one week if only flu infection in case of pneumonia will take two to three weeks for recovery. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
