What foods should I give my husband he said he was hungry but I dont want him to throw up again, any advice you have would be very helpful and thank you in advance for posting.

A: Rest, very small amts of liqids frequently if vomiting continues. Take acetiminophen or ibuprophen for temp and/or body aches if NOT ALLERGIC TO THEM. If his vomiting continues and he cant keep any liquids down, he could become dehydrated quickly. Just make sure he gets a few teaspoons of liquids every little bit. If he cant keep anything down, he needs to see a health care provider as dehydration can be dangerous if continues. Try clear liquids like ice tea, water, jello, popsickles chicken broth etc.

How can I get over the flu by tomm?

Q: As you all know, thanksgiving is tommorow, and I think I have come down with the flu :(. I woke up this morning feeling really out of energy, cold, and my whole body aches. I can barely stand for more than a couple of minutes because I am so dizzy. I have a horrible headache and am sensitive to sound and light. I just took my temperature, and it was 103.6. I don’t know how to make this go away by tommorow. Please help me!!

A: You can’t. The flu is a virus and like all viruses, it has to run it’s course. As far as the headache, the sensitivities you speak of are indications of a migraine.. These are trigger points. I know, because I get migraine. have one now, only I took my med and I’m doing better. The temp is always the body’s way of letting you know that an infection is starting because the white blood cells are trying to ward off and are attacking whatever is in your body. That’s their job and it will cause a rise in temp. It also can be a sign of dehydration. You need to drink a lot of water and with at temp that high, it’s dangerous in adults. You should go to the ER NOW. You may not even have the flu. Are you vomiting, runny nose, coughing? Oh the dizziness is also a sign of dehydration. You can’t and won’t make it go away that fast. Please reconsider and go to the ER. Feel better and just in case you are contagious, you should not be in the company of others. You don’t want to spread it around to them do you. It’ wouldn’t be very fair to them.
