...or...or you know, just drink plenty of fluids, eat soup...the normal thing, and you should be good.

Sometimes I do wish it was easier for me to stay hydrated and that I could walk around with an IV attached, I only drink water(and coffee/tea) but a lot of times I just flat out forget to drink as much as I should.

If you've got the flu really bad and you can't keep anything down, an IV is a lifesaver.

Because staying hydrated is important no matter what the illness is.  If you actually have influenza, keeping down liquids and solids can be a lot of work.



He can simply take something to reduce vomiting which he hasn't reported and drink a mixture of sugar and salt in water. It takes 3 sodium ions to import a single glucose molecule. If you want I could calculate exactly how many grams of salt and sugar you have to take for optimal effect.

What you suggested was more expensive and totally overkill.

We're not talking about the 1918 Spanish flu here so its largely irrelevant.

Oh yah, no arguments because I've been hospitalized for flu-like conditions(not influenza, I was in Honduras sick with a tropical flu when I was little...which is utter and complete hell, BTW) and if you've got it bad then keeping anything down is a chore..shit..I was too weak to get to the toilet to throw up myself at that point, and honestly if he had IVs laying around anyways it might be easier...but generally speaking the average case of the flu shouldn't require that sort of thing.

It might be tough to keep yourself drinking and eating(even if it's just soup) but if it's getting the the point where you need an IV to stay hydrated I would probably suggest heading to the doctor or hospital. A dose of Tamiflu set me right super quickly. I didn't have it ridiculously bad last year, but it was influenza and it was still no fun.

Hah! Very cool, never knew that! Noted, for the next time I'm seriously ill while on a very tiny island with no real medical facilities.
Thankfully, the mainland was right over yonder and my parents flew me over to get treated when things got hairy.


But dang, there's nothing like a 104 degree fever in tropical heat, humidity, and no AC. Shit sucks.

I will let it pass most of the time take it easy
my friend and other people I know got flue shots last year and they all got really sick I never had one in my life and went to hang out with them felt like a charm after don't know if it means any thing but I think that says something about flue shots the only way I will ever get one is if they strap me to a bed
