Here in Manila, we only have two seasons. We have hot & cold, wet & dry or summer and rainy season, whatever. But every time this season comes, this friend of mine I call it friend because it visits me every year and I hate it very much. But I remember my parents hear them say that I have completed my vaccines when I was just a baby.
After I got back from school, it started off just as a sore throat. So I bought strepsils thinking this might prevent the on-going process but did not. Then the next day I woke up in fever, feeling so weak, headache, dizzy, no energy at all. I got FLU. And one thing we noticed in our community, neighbors have also. You can hear coughing and even the medicine at the drug store became out of stock.
After the fever is gone, here comes the sweating...all my towels and t-shirts will be piled up just because of sweat. Imagine my back becomes reddish because of wiping out sweat so many many times...then I feel pain. Good thing there's internet where I can research for cure or if there's no cure at least a soothing words to calm me down.
According to the article I read, the whole way to get rid of the flu is to sweat it out. Get lots of sleep, lots of water, wear flannel pajamas and stay in bed. In other words REST. Just follow the advise, in three days and you'll be fine. Stay at home in 3 days, to really get the flu out of my system. I still had a head-cold for a week, but the flu was gone.
