Check nowI am sorry to hear that you have been feeling unwell with flu symptoms for the past week. Most people with similar infections will be starting to feel better at this stage, but as you are not recovering, I would suggest that you think about making an appointment to see your doctor. There could be a secondary infection lurking around which requires treatment with antibiotics or another reason for you still feeling poorly.
Meanwhile, if you have not already done so, you might wish to try a course of Echinacea. With a persistent bout of flu or severe cold, a combination of Echinacea with Elderberry is the one I would advise you to use. You should be able to find it locally in your health food store.
Don’t forget that it is important for you to keep hydrated, especially if you are feeling a bit feverish. Any fluid will be fine, but plain water is the best. I hope that you will feel better soon.
