I m 77 I had the flu/virus 6 weeks ago and my prim doc put me on antibiotics and steroids , 2 days later I felt great. This past week I got the same Flu/virus symptoms but i didn t contact my prim Doc. Today I feel a little better. My symptoms are sore throat, muscle aches, little chills, slight runny nose, fatigue, slight headache and nausia. NO Fever. Tuesday I have an appointment with my prim/doc shall I ask for Antibiotics and steroids and how often should someone take them? David.
