Answer 1

umm i dont really know but def listen to the doctor and im sure you'll feel better in a few days keep taking advil maybe call him and ask for a new medication. thats all i got. feel better soon!

Answer 2

The flu doesn't operate according to a strict timetable, the recovery times will vary from person to person and depend on the actual strain of the flu that you have.  

The Doc was right though that you need plenty of fluids and need to stay warm.  You will need to eat starchy foods like bread, cereal and pasta to keep you strength up and fuel your body's natural defences.  

The head ache could possibly be due to your body being dehydrated, even though you have drank water, try a bit more and take paracetemol for the general aches and pains and this will lower your temperature too.  

Answer 3

It is a virus; it does not magically go away at a certain time.  Please tell us you did not really go to the hospital for the flu?

Answer 4

it's possible for your headaches to be caused stress.  

if that's not what  it this is what i usually  do: take a hot or cold shower whatever you are comfy with. when you get out take a sleeping pill and

hit the hay!

GOOD LUCK!
