There is no such medication OTC. If it is truly the flu. The flu is a virus and cannot be killed with OTC medication. You will have to go to the doctor, and get a prescription for Tamiflu which will lessen the duration and effects of the flu. I cant for the life of me understand why people don't get a flu shot at the beginning of the season.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your reply. This Was a general question to see if OTC medication is covered. I do not see the need for all to have the flu shot especially in our Eastern Cape climate."

Nausea,and throat phlegm

And about your TEMPERATURE... Nora...?

Without a complete picture & history
of who, what where & why... A fully sane & qualified
MEDIC, PA or PHYSICIAN would have to have lost
ALL their integrity, training & humanity to advise you...

In lieu of going to any DOCTOR... or CALLING your
advice nurse... simply walking into EMERGENCY.

So many dangerous, disabling ... even deadly
conditions present as a "cold" or "flu"...
that I MUST CAUTION YOU AGAINST opinion shopping
here... like your health & welfare is a broken TOASTER.

Bad idea... (you are toying with your life).

When you get past this...
you probably also need to get your HEAD EXAMINED
(in my opinion).

Is it true flu shots are bad

No. There was an article researched on Snopes.com about this.

It's worth noting that Johns Hopkins University had nothing to do with this "blistering report." Peter Doshi is neither a virologist nor a epidemiologist, but rather an anthropologist who completed a fellowship in comparative effectiveness research at Johns Hopkins. He conducted no research about influenza or vaccines at Johns Hopkins, nor does he speak for the university on that subject.

What does it mean if you are coughing up blood? Is it dangerous?

Coughing up blood can be a sign of a serious medical condition and you should get a doctor's opinion immediately. It's officially called Hemoptysis and can be caused by a lot of different issues, so you need to consult with a medical professional who can do blood tests, xray etc to find the cause.

I am 4 months pregnant and have a horrible cold. Can I buy over the counter medicines?

Although it's best to avoid medications during pregnancy where possible, there are a lot of over the counter drugs that are ok to use. You need to avoid any non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs and nasal sprays but the best thing is to check with your doctor or pharmacist before you take anything. And drink a lot - that helps too.

My wife has had the flu for 4 days already. Should she see a doctor?

Whilst there isn't much a doctor can do to treat flu (other than advise pain relief, decongestants etc), it can be helpful to see a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and especially if the symptoms are not improving.
