Question

ive had the flu and cold in the last 4 days and ive been awake for 2 to 4 hours each day ... Im really exhausted ... is it bad that im sleeping this much ?

Completely aside from the previous questions- when you have the flu- when do you know when its time to go to the doctor ? do you go at all ?

Answer 1

I also have the flu.  My husband and I have had it for a week, and we thought it was getting better cause we had one good day, and today we both feel so, so sick.  It's normal to sleep when you feel so crappy and weak.  It's better than being awake and feeling crappy.   If you develop a fever than I would suggest you go to the doctor.  Or if your not getting better after two weeks.  In most cases the flu just has to run it's course and there isn't much a doctor can do.  I think your doing the best thing by getting plenty of rest.  Just make sure you eat and drink.  Don't skip meals cause then you can become dehydrated.

Hope we all feel better soon.

Depends how bad you`re feeling.  If you really dont feel good then it`s time to see the doctor.  Whenever you`re not well, plenty of rest is a good medicine.
