I have a fever/flu, when the hell is it going to end??

Don't know where you live. But in the UK you can get anti biotics from your GP, this is only for full on flu though. Also rest well and drink a lot of water. Should last for about a week in my experience, lemsips also help.

 

Sore throats, chills, coughing up phlegm, and so on are all flu symptoms, so I'd say they're all connected.

The flu is caused by viruses, antibiotics treat bacterial infections, so antibiotics aren't going to help if this is the flu and not something else. The overuse of antibiotics contribute to antibiotic resistant bacteria, so don't take them unless they're absolutely necessary. Over-the-counter medications treat symptoms, not the actual illness. Medications like ibuprofen are there to make you feel better physically for as long as they last, you'll have to let your immune system fight it off for the most part. Antivirals (they treat the actual flu) exist but they require a prescription. For now, rest/hydration are you best bets. Don't forget to eat, fighting an infection takes up energy so you'll need it.

If this doesn't mostly go away in a day or two (most notably the fever), then it's better to go to a doctor and see if it's anything serious.

 

Go to the doctor.

 

Whenever I have Cold/Cough/Fever/Flu I take Paracetamol three times a day. It tends to zap the energy right out of you, but it works pretty fast. But I'm not a doctor, this is merely a home remedy.

 

I second that.

 

A note to the OP: antibiotics are for bacterial infections only. The flu, regardless of severity, is a virus and antibiotics are more than useless as treatment. Please don't contribute to the rise of antibiotic resistance by taking them when it isn't necessary. You'll only be given antibiotics if your flu develops into a bacterial chest infection like bronchitis or pneumonia - and that's quite rare unless you're frail and elderly.

You should get better on your own after a 1 week or so. Just rest and stay at home. If you still feel ill and your symptoms don't get better or get worse after around a week, is the time to go to the doctor.

 

I've had pneumonia for 5 weeks because the dr didn't want me to go of my antidepressant in order to get antibiotics
So my suggestion get all types of tests done: flu, chest xray, whooping cough, etc. And get treated because it's a lot better than staying home for 5 weeks!!!!!!!!!! (As you can tell.....I'm only a little annoyed about thin ;p )
