How long does the flu last without taking antibiotics? 5 days at most

Well, let’s cross fingers that this flu is not going to last any longer. When I was working, I never had any off day because of the flu, and now being retired and for sure having all the rest I can get, I get the flu! And it isn’t even winter yet, let alone autumn…

Ok, I must admit I took the mom of my neighbours to the doctor and had to wait there for 3 hours. Lots of coughing going on in the waiting room, so most likely I got it from there.

So I am taking it as easy as possible and drinking lots of warm tea with lemon and honey. Especially the honey is of importance as it contains natural antibiotics.

I tried the first day of my flu only to medicate me with red wine, but that didn’t seem to work at all

Meanwhile drinking lots of home made chicken and rice soup. Which is a good way to get rid of some of the old chickens ranging around in my garden, as there is plenty of supply of new chicks running around here, there and every where.

My wife told me to get a vitamine B-12 flu shot like she had seen on an episode of Kimora… Yeah, right, these people are most likely promoting stuff in their show in stead of talking about "their regular daily life". I have been in marketing, so done that also

So how long does the flu last? Mine is in day 3 and still not better. If after 1 week your flu isn’t finished and you have been resting as needed, then better go and see a doctor!
