I'm at home today feeling like absolute shit and I'm thinking it might be the flu.
People keep telling me to go to the doctor, but I didn't think there was anything they could really do for you other than say stay hydrated and get rest.

Iunno.... what do you guys think?

Oh, yeah, here are some gibs from that Fanatical thing because I'm stupid and spend money I don't have. Shrug

it's easy to know if you have a flu or cold if you know symptoms and had a few through your life, you can feel even when it starts ;)
Until there is no emergency with your health state there is nothing at flu or cold which doctor can prescribe, you can't buy for yourself at pharmacy without prescription.
Get well soon and rest :)

As a doctor in Portugal, I would recommend you come to me if:

  • High fever (>40ºC) that doesn't go down with medication
  • Fever every day for more then 3 days (>38ºC)
  • unexpected symptoms of common colds like hemorraging, blood in spotum, etc.
  • vomiting is stopping you from being able to stay hydrated.
  • have an underlying condition that can make cold deadly such as imunesupression, severe respiratory disease, etc.

If you don't have any of those you should do the following treatment;

  • stay away from loved ones, be hygienic
  • ibuprofen 600 mg at lunch and diner. Paracetamol 1g between those takes if you have pain or fever (you can take up to 3 per day). Anti-histaminic at night if you have a runny nose.
  • stay hydrated (about 1,5L of fluids) if you don't like water drink something else such as tea
  • eat at every meal even if you aren't very hungry. You don't ahve to eat a lot but something so you don't fast.

NOTE: the treatment assumes you are healthy and have no underlying disease!!! make sure you are healthy before following that!!!!!!!!!!

It does not matter if it's cold or flu actually. There are two types of respiratory diseases - virus-based or bacteria-based. And 90% of them is inflicted by some virus (flu among them). Catch is - there is no cure for virus-based respiratory diseases - you can just wait. Stay in bed, stay hydrated, and wait. Diseases inflicted by bacteria, on the other hand, very rare (I don't know exact numbers, maybe 10% of respiratory diseases), and can be effectively cured by antibiotics. BUT antibiotics should be prescribed by doctor, and only after taking a sample for analysis and finding out what bacteria it is. So, what I think best to do - if you don't feel too bad - just stay in bed and rest, if after a week or so it's not over - go to a doctor.
Get well soon!

If it's actual flu there are some medicines that can help such as Tamiflu but I think they are only effective if taken in the first 24-48 hours. So it is important to get tested immediately as soon as you think you are sick. If you are carrying the virus it'll show up on a test even if your symptoms aren't horrible yet.

Get rest, do not clog the medical system if it is just a cold or flu unless you are at risk of further complications caused by something like a compromised immune system or your age.

Edit: karnage10's reply above is more concise.
