Help! Need advice on Flu. When will it be over?

A friend of mine has the flu and as a result he is not eating.


He hasn't eaten properly in about 5 days because he says it makes him ill. Despite this he is going to the toilet regularly and he's lost just over a stone in those 5 days.





What can I do?


When will he get better?





Somebody please help.....

i had horrid flu last Christmas and i didnt want to eat anything for well over a week. appetite just went. i found plenty of fluids helped, fruit teas, lucozade, water but also ice lollies really helped too with the sore throat. Soup was good too.





if it doesnt clear up then maybe get to a doctor but im reluctant these days coz they wont prescribe anything and you usually end up coming out with other bugs too!Help! Need advice on Flu. When will it be over?
You don't say if he's keeping his fluids up, he can go with a little food for quite a while but he must keep his fluids up. If he's not and you're getting worried, speak to his doc - he may need to go to hospital and be put on a drip if he dehydrates too much.
He should go to the doctor. There are lots of horrible bugs going around at the moment and it's impossible to say when it will go away. His body should fight it off on it's own eventually but he may need antibiotics or something.
Your friend needs to see a doctor. He could be dehydrated which is very dangerous. I hope he will feel better soon.
