How To Cure Symptoms Of Flu?

I had flu symptoms: vomiting, dry heaves for 24 hours, and high fever/ chills for another 5 days. My temp returned to normal, symptoms left, I stayed hydrated although couldn t eat for 9 days so lost 10 lbs. I am now eating healthy diet, resting, but have not regained energy. I just sit or lie around, so fatigued. It s been 19 days. Is this normal? How do I get energy back?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should get done complete blood count (CBC) to see whether infection is present or not.
As flu don't last this much long.
Try to follow these
1. Avoid oily and spicy food.
2. Keep yourself hydrated.
3. Warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
4. Start macrolide group of antibiotic.
5. Start antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
6. Get done glu vaccination after done with this illness to prevent further flu infection.
