You poor things. I'm into my 3rd week of it, and have to say, it really was the very worst flu I've ever had in my life, and now I've given it to o/h, he's had it for about 5 days now and getting worse by the day
Although mine has almost gone, it's left me with a chronic ear, and the doc's said, it's all down to the flu I had which blocked my sinuses and caused the bad ear. I'm not the first with the ear problem, there's two other people I know who have ended up in the same boat as me, and I wouldn't wish this on anyone!
You have to get some Paracetamols tomorrow and keep on taking them, it's the only way to get through this one. Keep those ears warm too on your walks outdoors, if you don't wear a hat, you'll probably end up in pain like I am now. Hubby's been taking the Beecham's All In One Ultra's, but he has also said, it's the worst flu he's ever had he feel awful. I would also recommend getting the Olbas oil for the steam inhalation, coz the doctors told me if I had done that from the start, I wouldn't be in this state now with the sinus problem causing the ear pain!
that's about all the tips I can give you, and good luck, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, I'm getting the flu jab next year even though I said I'd never have one again after the last time, but quite honestly, if you want to avoid this latest bout, get the jab is my tip!
