I got treated by taking medicine for flu like symptoms and tea. I also took pain medicine so it would help with my really stong headaches. I stayed at home, usually alone. I threw up a lot and I wouldn't stop coughing. After some time, the flu started being less irritable. i did cough a lot even after I wasn't sick but I made sure to not cough on anyone. Around 2 years ago I did get the flu and it got really bad that I had to go to the hospital. They gave me an antiviral drug and a anti-flammatory drug. ]]> 2020-04-02 22:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/alexgmal/g27ls8d655v8/wish/490016148 alexgmal https://padlet.com/alexgmal/g27ls8d655v8/wish/490024026 Influenza is a viral infection that attacks your respiratory system.
