how can you make the flu worse?

Q: i don’t wanna make my flu worse i just want to know what to stay away from!!!! can you please hep me quick!!!please and thank you!!!

A: Careful about drinking orange juice as it’s high in acid. Orange juice is effective in PREVENTING illness. The saying ‘drown the flu’ rings true and honestly, water is the best thing for it! Rest and plenty of fluids, it’s really all you can do for the flu. People that don’t properly hydrate can end up in the hospital on an I.V. A fever is normal, but if it begins to rise too much then I’d suggest an Tylenol to bring it down. Try to keep it below 101 degrees.

Can ibuprofen make a flu fever worse/higher?

Q: Ok so I have been sick as a dog since Sunday. The flu has been going around like wildfire so I am assuming thats what I have. I have been taking ibuprofen for a fever reduction/pain reviler and this is the second time the following occurred. Feeling okish I take the ibuprofen and a half an hour later I feel like I got hit by a bus and my temp hits almost 102. Is this just the way the flu operates or is the ibuprofen to blame?Thanks for your advice

A: ibuprofen is supposed to be “the” thing to take if you’re experiencing flu symptoms.BUT… if it seems to bother you, perhaps you should switch to aceteminophen.Also, Ibuprofen is not something you should take if you have stomach/digestive problems (or chronic diseases such as Ulcerative Colitis, Ulcerative Proctitis, Crohn’s disease, IBS or IBD, etc.)Call your doctor, though – it may be more than the flu (an infection of some other sort).
