what can a doctor prescribe for the flu that is any better than rest, liquids, etc? my symptoms started monday (10/17) and after running a 100.8 temp tuesday it got better yesterday until late afternoon. now it s back to 100.7 and feeling achy all over, mild headache. 60 year old male, 200lbs in good health. best just to get rest & medicate with alive & tylenol or go get checked by Dr?
