The Flu Has Finally Caught Me! Help What Meds Are OK?

[Marie79]

At least so far I don't have a lot of congestion but I have a fever aches and sore throat.

What do you guys suggest is tinnitus friendly? Sad that gone are the days that I could just pop a couple advil's without thinking twice.

I am double checking to see if it's strep so also antibiotic recommendations that are tinnitus friendly would be helpful just in case.

Go and get a bottle of propolis it is safe for tinnitus. Found in health food shops. It works very well rebuilds the immune system naturally

Have you tested positive for Influenza A or B? There is a difference between just a cold and the flu, and even the symptoms of the flu strands vary. If it really is the flu, your doctor can prescribe Tamiflu. It is an antiviral and should be safe, especially since antivirals are sometimes prescribed at the onset of sudden hearing loss.

I just took Tylenol when I had the flu.

This could be a common cold. The doctor can do a swab test to confirm the flu. If confirmed, they are likely to prescribe Tamiflu.
I took Tamiflu about a year ago and didn't notice any impact on my T.

Check out otc like Theraflu, rest, fluids, ice pack for head, soup and crackers. Feel better soon.

i was wondering the same thing about Tamiflu and i think its going to affect people differently, for example if your T was caused by medications to begin with, then i would be worried about using Tamiflu, but if caused by loud noise then it may not have an effect. But that's my overall worry about taking any medications as my T was caused by a sulfur antibiotic, so very leery of any medications.
