Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this flu and the terrible feeling you have. I am happy that your doctor prescribed the right medications to address this condition. However, medications may hinder progression of illness but would not immediately address the symptoms. It usually take a few days to start recovering from this. This period is called convalescence. I will suggest that you continue your medications, exercise some patience and you would soon be feeling better. In addition to drugs and a positive state of mind, exercise, healthy diet, fruits and vegetables would help accelerate this recovery.
In all, it is not unexpected. Time would be the ultimate solution. Exercise and health habits would accelerate the healing process.
I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
