hi, I am on day five of the flu.my cough is still bringing up phlegm.my diaorrhea is starting to end however my stomach ache is still quite bad.I was given only a cough suppressant and a med cert to return to work tomorrow which I cannot do as I dont have the energy.I will return to the doctors tomorrow but is there anything you can suggest I take in the meantime?. I have had 5 days off already and feel like I was hit by 2 busses.
In cases of flu it will take a week or two to get complete symptomatic relief. So your cough will get slowly resolved in a week. Take cough syrup like Expect A 5 ml twice a day. Have a good water intake and avoid oily spicy n junk food.
