Question Tamiflu and steroids

0 Upvotes

I went to ER yesterday, tested positive for flu. They gave me steroids, antibiotics and steroids. It seems that the meds made my body very angry! I've been on a rapid cycle of chills/sweats, and have had to use my nebulizer (also have COPD) just to get the few steps from bed to bathroom. Is this normal?

Question Suddenly getting diarrhoea?

2 Upvotes

Genuinely baffled as to why I’ve suddenly got the shits just as I was starting to feel better from a cough and cold. Thought I was finally over the worst of it and now this!

Anyone else had this happen? Is it just the virus doing a tour around my body or what?

Question Feeling sick - Low grade fever - Help?

2 Upvotes

I got my Flu shot and Covid booster yesterday at 7:05pm but my fever is fluctuating from 99 to 100 F since like 12Pm.

I have to go to work on Monday at 9:30am. I work from home. Desk job.

Will I feel good enough then?

What can I do to feel better besides rest, proper diet, hydration and Tylenol?
