I have tested Positive for Influenza about 5 day's ago, I took all my Meds got plenty of sleep, and drank lot's of fluids. Today I am up and around and I'm feeling outta breath, I'm still congested wheezin a little, but just not ready to do anything. How long does this flu last and is feeling out of breath normal
Noted you are diagnosed with viral influenza and now having breathlessness.
So you might have here bronchitis or lower respiratory tract infection. Auscultation done.If creps heard chest x ray done to rule out consolidation that us pneumonia...
CBC done ...If shows neutrophilia then bacteria cause there and levoflox like antibiotic needed for it....
Take rest.... If needed you can take chlirpheniremine like decongestent ... Nasal blockage if present then oxymetazoline spray and steam inhalation taken....
Take care....
