How To Get Rid Of Swine Flu?
I had severe swine flu last year plus bronchititus and sever asthma ER 4X and 7 days in intensive care. Was + foro swine flu. Had massive prednisone for 3 months because of breathing and cngestion problems. I got the flu shot. Bu tnow I think I am starting the flu. Very very achy, 102 temp, so tired i can haedly get up. I just took Tamilflu, and am allergic to anything with aspirin, motrin or nsaids. What can I do so I don't go into what I had last year. It truly nearly killed me with the comlications. Will i get it worse if I had it last year? What can I do? I am a bit afraid.

Hello,
There are many strains of flu. Just because you had complications last year does not mean that you will this year. See your doctor and follow their directions. Being on the Tamiflu is a good thing. Taking a multivitamin, drinking plenty of water, eating healthy food, and resting will also help you recover more quickly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Kathy Robinson
