Do you immediately take medicine when you have headache or flu?

Hi everyone, Just live a regular healthy life and treat any illness from its roots. Good personal hygiene, daily supply of vitamins from fruits etc like work out guy mentioned. If one loves pills, then it should be taken regularly as well with food because one becomes susceptible to the pill's victims( the bacteria or whatever it fights) as soon as one ceases use and the pathogens haven't been eradicated completely from the system. So treating the root cause of any infection would be the most solid method of putting a halt to frequently recurring symptoms. Cheers

hi careguarden, your friend was right, don't rely too much on taking medicine. someone that i knew had done exactly what you did, now he become susceptible with any kind of diseases because every medicines didn't work on him. maybe the viruses already already recognized the medicines and they easily to adapt. just drink water, eat fruits everyday especially an apple. keep healthy friend....

I used to take medicine for most of my ailments but I don't do that anymore. There was this incident a while back with me taking to much medicine at one time and it seriously did not help me. I had this major toothache for days on end so I was taking medicine for it every few hours. It got to the point where I accidently took too much and I was so out of it. I really learned my lesson after that experience so I don't take any medicine unless I absolutely have to now.

Actually I never take medicines even if I have a headache or mild fever, I just drink plenty of water and vitamins. Right now I am having head ache and runny nose but I just drink water whole morning, I try to avoid resorting to medicine when I have mild fever because I don't want my system to become dependent to medicine.

Hello, I have to really be hurting before I will take any medicine.Only time I will take medicine is when I have the flu and my body aches. The medicine will at least let me rest if I am huring all over.Alot of any headache I might get may be caffeine related so I drink coffee every day, at leat one cup then I won't get headaches.

I don't take modern medicine unless there's no other way. Some of them have side effect on me and I might have stomach ache and such. So when I am sick, I'll have plenty of rest and rest lots of water. I will watch what I eat and try traditional remedies. Your friend is right about not to rely too much on medicine. It may contain side effect on your body.

Everytime I experience a migraine attack, I readily take Norgesic Forte for relief. After an hour I feel better. So far it has no side effects. I need to do this so that I can attend to my work.
