Suggest Medications For Symptoms Of Flu, Migraine And Pulsing Veins On Forehead

My boyfriend is experiencing the following flu syptoms: severe aches and pains, cough (was worse yesterday), sore throat, migraine headache (most of today), and nausea. I just noticed some veins sticking out in his forehead I've never seen before and I can see them pulsing. His fever is 99.3 down from 101.1 last night. He's having trouble drinking water.. I've only been able to get him to drink two tall glasses today with his tylenol cold & flu.. he also got a small bit of chicken broth down. Should we be concerned about this migraine and the veins? He does not normally have either. Also, any other suggestions for medication or how to keep him as comfortable as possible would be helpful. Thank you

Your friend might have reduced in his weight grossly which is the common reason for visible pulsating veins.may be he is having throat infection which is why drinking is troublesome.for this he needs to be given diluted milk boiled with little turmeric and pepper and little honey for taste.saline mouth gargles daily two to three times also will relieve throat pain and he needs antibiotics like AZITHROMYCIN - dose dr needs to see the patient as dose depends on many factors mainly age and weight.regarding migraine it is mainly due to tension and stress.food like cheese and junk(pizza etc) will aggravate the pain,which he needs to avoid.regular balanced diet and yoga with meditation will be of help in preventing recurrence of migraine attacks.right now for severe headache NAPROXEN tablets sos will be useful.
