Hello since Sunday I have the flu Thank you Can I ask you another question?

Good morning, Madam, In general, the symptoms mentioned are possible symptoms of the flu or a cold. You should see how the symptoms evolve to determine if a consultation is necessary. Here are some measures to relieve the symptoms: Pain, fever and headache : Tylenol (maximum 4000 mg per day) Sore throat : gargle with water and salt (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 250 ml of water) Cough : drink water, take honey to soothe the throat Nasal secretions and congestion : Saline solution, such as Sinus Rinse, twice a day to clean the nose and to limit secretions from the throat Get plenty of rest and hydration Wash your hands frequently If you also have blocked ears, I refer you to my pharmacist's answer for blocked ears: here . However, Otrivin is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If the symptoms worsen or persist without improvement despite the above measures in the next week, I would suggest you to go see your doctor for an evaluation. I hope I have answered your question, Millie Yee, pharmacy student Under the supervision of Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist Have a nice day! Yes, no problem!

Since Sunday I have a flu but today I have a huge pressure in my face, earache and throat. Should I go see a doctor?

Good morning, Madam,

In general, the symptoms mentioned are possible symptoms of the flu or a cold. You should see how the symptoms evolve to determine if a consultation is necessary.

Here are some measures to relieve the symptoms:

Pain, fever and headache: Tylenol (maximum 4000 mg per day)
Sore throat: gargle with water and salt (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 250 ml of water)
Cough : drink water, take honey to soothe the throat
Nasal secretions and congestion : Saline solution, such as Sinus Rinse, twice a day to clean the nose and to limit secretions from the throat
Get plenty of rest and hydration
Wash your hands frequently

If you also have blocked ears, I refer you to my pharmacist's answer for blocked ears: here. However, Otrivin is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

If the symptoms worsen or persist without improvement despite the above measures in the next week, I would suggest you to go see your doctor for an evaluation.

I hope I have answered your question,
