I'll get back to you as soon as I'm fully well. I got a sudden flu Tuesday evening. I'm on leave for work for two days now. My head aches so badly and my eyes painful to see. I also have cough and this pain my body. Last night my body temperature was 39 so I decided to see the doctor this day. Fortunately, after taking the medicine, my body temperature lowers to 36 back to normal but still feeling weak and coughing continues.I got this flu from my students who entered my class to take the preliminary exam last Tuesday at 1:30- 4:30 many cough and 9 of them have flu. I told them to take special exam but they refused , when I arrived home , I noticed my head ached terribly and body in high temperature. Thanks for reading , miss you my friends.Take care health is wealth.

@LadyDuck, 
yes, my friend, you are very much right. Those sick students must stay at home and rest and take medicine. Actually , students do not tell if they have flu. I only get a hint after their constant coughing. I did get the virus from them. It is not easy to bear the headaches and the coughs.What a shame. I separate my things at home fr there are kids. I wear a mask at home to protect the young kiddos. Thank you so much.

@1hopefulman , hi Felix? I no longer have flu this time but cough remains. It's not as successive as before. This day, I felt so ashamed in class for I coughed. Thankfully, I wore a mass.

@1hopefulman so true. It's truly bad if there are kids at home. I have one niece age 2, two nephews ages 7 and 9 . I wear a mask at home and separate my utensils to avoid contaminations.

@cacay1 even with treatment it some times takes another 14 days for our body to fully recover. It took my 2 weeks 7 days for the flu the pass, and another 7-14 days to feel normal again.

@thelme55 , Thanks Thel, I do. My sister found an herb in our backyard and she let me drink it and feel cough slowly disappears. In Surigaonon term it is called " Kayabo". In CDO, it is called " Kalabo" It seems a wonderful plant. My cough seems fading away. I thank the Lord.

@Bullshark, Hi handsome? Thanks for the wish. I am flu -free now , except the slight cough which I have to dismiss next day. Coughing is not an easy thing. It is also irritating. It likes to having a showdown when people are around.

I also had one last week. I was absent Thursday, Friday and Monday this week. Cough and colds are so much trending this past days as I see myu co - workers having one too. I already have it checked for Dengue in case but the results turned out negative on me which is a good news. I still feel light headaches and body aches as well but I feel much better now and my cough is subsiding already.

@rsa101 oh my God. The virus is just roaming around in your home. At home, I wear a face mask to protect the kids of my niece ages 2, 7 and 9. I separate all my utensils to avoid contamination. I also soak all the utensils at home with Zonrox , small amount of water and liquid soap. I spray the sala and other parts at home with Quick to kill the virus before going to be and no more people in the living room.
