Summer flu?

This is absolutely disgusting. I caught a summer flu, and not even during my vacation—where I was basically dodging bullets through some sketchy parts of Chicago—but right after I got back home. I got soaked in the rain, then passed out right under the AC, and now look at me. My sinuses and throat are completely wrecked, and honestly, I’m terrified this is going to settle in my lungs, or worse, hit my kidneys or other... sensitive areas. It feels viral, but I've been running a fever and dealing with all these nasty symptoms. What can I take to get better without jumping straight to antibiotics? I’m currently slamming Coldrex and drinking sage tea with milk and honey, but I feel like absolute garbage. My head is splitting, I'm coughing, sneezing, and leaking from every possible orifice. Please, just don't tell me to go have sex and let it run its course.😁

Great, I caught this exact same flu... right in the middle of my vacation too. 😁
Where the hell is Walter Myers4? I want to hear how they handled this mess.
Nothing is working for me.😢My sinuses are absolutely killing me... and I feel like I've coughed up everything I've ever eaten.😢

I can't speak for Walter Myers4, but personally, I usually find relief once I get my sinuses cleared out with some ocean water...👍

My eye is swelling up like crazy from sinus issues, and the area right underneath it is killing me. It looks absolutely hideous. I’ve tried every over-the-counter remedy at CVS, but nothing is touching the pain.
Can you actually pick up antibiotics without a prescription here in the US?😢 😢 😢

Generally speaking, no. But if a pharmacist sees you looking like that, they might just feel bad enough to help you out.👍>

And here I am, dying... fever, coughing, headache... just total chaos.😢

Showed me mercy😁 ..right when I thought every single pharmacy in town was closed for the weekend, I stumble upon this one private clinic...
I still look absolutely terrible... there's zero chance I'm hitting the beach anytime soon... 😢
