Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
When you are not regular with the pills, it is considered as the ending of the course, and bleeding starts in a few days.
The flu is a viral infection, but usually super infected by the bacteria, that is to be identified and treated for bacterial infection as well.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
