Suggest Treatment For Flu With Light Headedness

Hi, I have had the flu and a cough for about 5 days now, very weak, no energy, lightheaded, dizzy. It takes me a while just to get up and go to the bathroom. I have been coughing up white phlegm, and it feels like I have bruised my ribs on the left side of my body. Have not thrown up at all, and nausea isn't strong at all. Any advice would help. thank you.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You are having flu and cough,weakness,no energy, lightheaded, dizzy,cough,and nausea.
As you describe, it appears to be the viral pyrexia, a fever due to the viral infection, or allergy.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an X ray, and other tests for diagnosis.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ranitidine, paracetamol, ofloxacin,phenylephrine, citrizine.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
