Suggest Remedy For Flu

My sister has night sweats, muscle tenderness/pain, cough, fatigue, chills and as she describes it symptoms very similar to the flu. But since she was on lovistatin for 2 years she thought at first it was from that. But she has been off the drug for threes weeks or longer with no improvement in symptoms. I was thinking she should see an infectious disease doctor. Help? Ashton

Thanks for posting your query to Health care magic .

As i understand your sister is sugffering from upper resoiratory tract infection . it could be of invective or allergic in nature . I suggest you to maintain a good hygienic and nutritional condition as lower immunity is a predisposing condition for infection . As I understand it may be viral in nature .
So i suggest you to take
1. Antihistaminic with mast cell stabilizer : Cetrizine 10mg with Monteleucast 5mg tablet once in a day.(Adult dose )
Tablet Paracetamol 2 times a day as I in standard dose as per age of your sister for fever and bodyache.
Multivitamin with Zinc tablet to improve immune response .

Antibiotic like Azithromycine 500 mg once in a day can be taken after consult local clinician as it has no role in viral illness .
Hope I have solve your problem . feel free to contact me.
Regards,
