Suggest Treatment For Fever Along With Cough And Nausea

So, on Thursday I came down with the flu, Had a fever of 101.3, progressed throughout the weekend and on Sunday I still had a fever of 100.6.I woke up with no fever, so I went to school today(Monday) and went to football conditioning where we had one of the most intense cardio and body bulking workouts. I tried my best to keep up but the coughing and nausea set in, and now I m experiencing the symptoms of the flu again. Is it possible the flu came back because I wasn t fully recovered, or is it just that I m worn out?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear, thanks for the question.

You have not recovered from the flu attack which you got on Thursday as recovery from flu generally takes one week. However there is a possibility of secondary bacterial infection too which is very common after flu(viral infection).

You need to take adequate rest as flu weakens the body. So during recovery rest is very essential. You should visit general physician for examination for proper diagnosis and treatment as flu requires symptomatic(analgesic, decongestant) treatment and bacterial infection requires antibiotics along with symptomatic.

I wish you rapid recovery.
