Suggest Treatment For Flu And Swollen Lungs
Im 26 5'3 100lb eat perfectly healthy diet, take no medications, a few weeks weeks ago feb 1 i caught a really bad flu. 104 fever(after advil and tynenoll) for 4 days and then 100- 101 for the rest of the week. Then I got my period one week early feb10 then another period feb 17 the next week (This has never happened before in my life, but also never had a fever that bad for so many days). I had a cold with the flu but now my lungs feel swollen, it hurts to lay on them also kills to sneeze. I dont have fluid in my lungs and don't cough anymore. Any ideas whats going on?

Severe influenza (or other viral infections) can sometimes cause pneumonia (infection of the lung) or predispose you to a bacterial pneumonia. It is important that you have a chest x-ray done to evaluate for evidence of pneumonia or inflammatory fluid outside the lungs.
