Can you get rid of the flu in 1 day?

Due to the fact that we are experiencing the winter season, we frequently encounter flu infections and the majority of our patient population consists of flu cases.

Flu is caused by a virus called influenza, which starts suddenly and rises to 39°C and above. It is an infection that progresses with extreme weakness, severe muscle and joint pain, chills, headache and cough, and it is highly contagious.

It is transmitted through inhalation of droplets suspended in the air and its effects occur 2-3 days after entering the body.

Influenza, which seems like a simple disease that does not require going to a doctor, is especially common in people with suppressed immune systems, the elderly, children, pregnant women, those with chronic diseases such as heart, blood pressure and diabetes, and those with lung and kidney diseases. It can cause complications that can be fatal. For these reasons, a doctor should be consulted if there are the following symptoms:

If the symptoms are severe

If the patient's condition is getting worse

If the fever does not go down

Difficulty in breathing/wheezing If you have

If you have nausea and vomiting

If you have a persistent cough

There is no single treatment method for the flu, nor is there a miraculous treatment method or application that will cure it in 1 day. Today, there are very effective antiviral drugs for flu treatment, but the doctor must decide which one to use. In addition to antiviral drugs, painkillers that provide symptomatic treatment, nasal sprays for nasal congestion, vitamin supplements and drugs that strengthen the immune system can be used. Antibiotics have no place in flu treatment.

The best way to get rid of flu is to continue treatment uninterruptedly, consume plenty of liquids and herbal teas (such as rosehip, turmeric, linden, eucalyptus), rest and pay attention to nutrition.

In recent studies, it has been found that high-dose vitamin C and vitamin D supplements administered intravenously strengthen the immune system, reducing the risk of flu and shortening the symptoms and duration of the disease.

Symptoms of the flu continue for 7-15 days. However, it starts to decrease gradually within 3-4 days. If your complaints are getting worse, your fever should drop. If it doesn't work, if your cough and phlegm have started, a bacterial infection may have been added to the flu and you may need antibiotics. Be sure to consult your doctor.
