A few weeks ago, there was a voice in my head that suddenly said, "Beware the Ides of March!"
True enough, this week was the worst flu week I ever had.
I gutted it out for two days but in the end the symptoms got too severe and I had to take sick leave.
I also refused to take antibiotics because as what Sam said, flu is cause by virus and not bacteria. Even high school bio student know that antibiotics should not be used to treated viral infections.
I don't want to contribute to the rising rate of high resistance viruses out there.
Nowadays, don't know whether its my body weak or the flu is especially powerful, flu symptoms tend to last a long time.
Last time when i was younger, it would be a fever, sore throat and running nose for a couple of days and then recovery. No problem.
Now the bloody thing last for a week!
Any tips to build up your immune system?
