What would you do when you have flu? I prefer to go the natural way like taking a hot coffee containing ginger and some other natural ingredients. What you guys prefer? Do you go straight to the doctor or take the natural curse?

being in the medical field, i would normally take medications if i do have a flu. I would not wait to make it worse. though, there are natural ways to remedy flu, i think i would still prefer in seeking medical care.

I try to get over the ilnesses without taking any medication for it as i tend to sleep abit more if possible to get over it, if i really have to i would take parasetamol, but that is very unlikely for me as i don't like taking medication for anything.

I surely take a paracetamol as when there's flu, there's headache and fever. I take a rest and drink some fruit juices. After a day or two and am not yet well, that's the time I would see a doctor.

I usually start out by trying natural methods, such as eating a lot of vitamin C, eating garlic, ginger and so on. I do that for a few days, and if I don't get better, I might go see a doctor, but I always try something else first.

Flu is such a bad sickness to have! I have just recently recovered from a flu this month and it took me a week before I could fully recover. I would like to make it natural but the pain you have to go through is a bit unbearable. You have to get well fast if you are working like me. But if you can afford to stay at home and on your bed for a long time then I think the natural way is fine. Take lot's of vitamin C to boost your immune system!
