[QUOTE="Dwill817, post: 695133, member: 10907"] 1) The flu shot does not work. It is said to be about 10% effective this year, but I doubt it is that much. 2) There is not much your doctor can do. The only reason you should go is to test positive so you can get a work excuse. Treat the fever and symptoms with OTC meds. You can alternate ibuprofen and acetaminophen every two hours. (4 hours between doses on each individual med). The Dr might give you a steroid shot to help "boost" your immune system, but lets be real.. Its got to run its course. The flu is viral and CANNOT be treated with antibiotics. Viruses are difficult to kill with medication. Its very rampant this year. I've never seen us get so many positives so fast. We went from 1-2 a week to like 5-6 a day for a week straight. Wash your hands. Avoid sick folks. You should know the drill. [/QUOTE]
