Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

The flu is usually a viral syndrome and so does not always need much treatment. In fact, I usually avoid the antibiotics. Multivitamins and fluids help a lot.

Coming to your direct query, I would like to clear if it is supposed to be stamlo 5, or stamilo 5. There is a difference in the two medicines and in fact they are prescribed for different purposes. Stamlo is usually given for flu. It is a medicine for hyertension, and therefore needs to be taken continuously unless held by the treating doctor.

The other two medicines - magnes and tanakan- are multivitamins. They will probably not hurt you, so you can have them if you like. But strictly speaking, I dont think you need them once your flu is cured.

Suggest checking complete hemogram and vitamin D

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further. Please feel free to ask another query. Would be glad to help you.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
