General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, if she is having low blood pressure with flu, she may need to be reviewed by her primary care physician and get baseline blood counts and CRP as well as chest X-ray tests to look for any signs of severe infection or sepsis. If not very high inflammatory markers, supportive treatment like acetaminophen alongwith anti histamines like cetrizine and drinking fluids and rest can be helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin
