Hey, we know for a fact you have the flu, you don't need antibiotics. Doctors still say your best defense against the flu is to get a flu shot. Just keep in mind, it takes one to two weeks to be protective and it can't stop you from getting the common cold. And, if you're having trouble telling the difference between a cold and the flu, remember the flu has body aches. A cold limits itself to sinus and nose congestion and a dry cough.
Researchers are also excited about a new flu medicine.
They claim a new study shows it can be a powerful flu fighter. Relenza is a powder, inhaled twice a day. Relenza is a prescription drug, and is due on drugstore shelves on Friday. It should be out in pill form, soon.
