Suggest Remedy For Severe Neck Ache, Chest Pains, A Nasty Cough And Some Difficulty Breathing
Hi my husband has been ill for the last week with flu like symptoms. Our doctor thought it could have possibly been swine flu and suggested a week off work and rest. He is no better and is really suffering with severe neck ache, chest pains, a nasty cough and some difficulty breathing. He is reluctant to go back to the doctor do you think he should. Also are these symtoms of a flu virus?

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having bacterial infection persisting after this much long time.
He might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5-7 days.
If require go for blood checking like TC, DC,etc.
Ok and take care.
