yeah thats what I thought faysh but I meant for his flu symtoms.

I agree Kitten, My friend wouldn't put her 2yr old on it cos of the side affects, she just did what I did when my kids were ill, plenty of rest, fluids and meds to keep temp down, josh is on imodium daily anyway and has been for years so it never really works when he is ill as he is only allowed one extra dose a day. was a nightmare in our house lol

I'm with Frenchy. Paracetomol, and lots of fluids. And no whinging.

Yup, I've heard that as well. I don't personally think I'm severe enough to need it anyway.

I'll probably just take some Anadin for the cold/headache symptoms and leave the Tamiflu to one side, for the reason Kitten mentioned. I don't have the luxury of time with the wedding being so close so if Anadin can help get rid of the cold before the wedding then I'll take it

It wasn't manflu, it was Ebola.

100% agree Its just the ****ing flu, get over yourselves! For some cases of elderly young fail etc... Its not ideal otherwise its barely a cold, some fever nothing as bad a the actual flu would be! Best advice is stay in bed, water paracetamol and a few days...

Totally agree, which is why I haven't phoned NHS direct, haven't taken medication and haven't been whinging in here about feeling ill

I have my usual summer cold that lasts for the first 2 weeks of every summer holiday period, when my body gives into all the stress and realises it can relax. Expect the symptoms are a bit worse this year including dizzy spells and sore tummy.

I've been having plenty of fluids today is the first day I've taken Paracetamol as I'm feeling rather rough, tried to do a bit of gardening and had a funny turn so decided no physical work this weekend, so I'm printing my order of service, nothing too taxing

It evidently isn't that mild for everyone is it, or there wouldn't be hundreds of people in hospital due to it, and previously healthy people who are neither very young nor very old, dying of it.

This doesn't sound like barely a cold: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...l-stories.html

But the flu when it comes around, sends people down and to hospital all the time, you just don't have the same media coverage, a few hundred thousand people die every year from flu, this could have been an epidemic if the flu stain itself was actually a threat. As it stands even the government are stating mild symptoms are not as heavy as a "standard" flu (whatever that might be).
