with influenza in my family. I visited a friend in hospital recently. She was admitted due to high fever and influenza. What I know, she is recovering when we visited her. The next morning, when I woke up, I found myself with a stuffy nose. Thinking that it is merely a morning sympton sometimes which I will have, I just went to work. In aircondition room, the nose got more stuffy and giddiness struck. Lucky thing weekend approached. I rested over the weekend. But unfortunely, the runny nose becomes more worst. Had been popping flu pills but its seem not to work. Now I had spread the germs to my family. My niece who stayed with us, caught flu on Monday, my sis got in yesterday and this morning, my brother and my domestic helper complaint of itchy nose and throat and started to cough. Now everyone is blaming me.
I think the Flu Pandemic is starting to strike us in Asia. The World Health Organisation had warned that the Flu Pandemic will invade the world. We are advise to take precaution. Get ourselves jab with flu vacsin. But I think the best is too build our immunity system so that it can fight naturally. So does anyone and their family also being attack by this irritating inFLUenza?. What your remedy for fast recovery and do you have any special strategy to fight them?. Do share.
Thanks.

I think that if we are reasonably healthy, that we should try and fight the flu naturally; our immune systems should be able to do this. If you make a drink with fresh lemon, hot water and glycerin this will help the stuffy nose and sore throat if you have one, take two painkillers then go to bed and rest.

I tried to fight it naturally. I got the flu from last Friday. Just refuse to consult a doctor until last wednesday afternoon. Got no choice I need the medical leave from office. Plus the aircondition in office only make my nose more stuffy. Thank God, I recovering after resting and drinking a lot of honey and lemon. I back to work today and also back in MyLOT. Thanks for your concern.

I have been sick for the past few days and am still sick due to influenza. My throat is still killing me and my cough is getting from bad to worse... On top of that, my whole body is still aching...... That's why I've lay off from myLot these few days.... I think I'll get the jab once I am fully recovered. Do you know that its the HFMD season again? On top of me being sick, I have to look out for this disease from infecting my young children....So dreadful with all this and the terrible weather patterns! I was told to drink loads of fluid. My friend taught me to drink a mixture of warm plain water, a spoonful of honey and lemon juice derived from half of a lemon. This is good for the throat and supposed to have a cleansing effect. But be sure to mix the water with plastic spoon as it won't be effective. Even if you were to eat your medication, use plastic spoona s metal spoon has some reaction towards the medication. Trylah! :

Its seem the virus is all over. Sorry to hear that your throat is still killing you. I got no more throat pain. Why don't you try eating kiwi fruit. It helps to soothen your throat.
I knew about the honey and lemon thingy. Had been drinking it since first got the flu. Even sometimes when the weather got too humid, the I will make myself a glass of that drink. Oh ya! btw, use the ivory or melamine spoon is better for honey though and avoid hot water. It will kill the nutricient in honey.Thanks.
