how to relieve body aches from the flu?
my girlfriend has been complaining of body aches (shes says she feels like she ran a 50mi marathon yesterday then got into a fist fight). she also has bad coughing, sore throat, and flem. she wen to a doctor and was denounced as a minor flu or viral infection. shes had it for several days, and it was worse today than yesterday.
she has been taking robetussin cf and advil, and was prescribed nasonex. what can she do about the body aches?
she has a medical condition where she cant take baths

Continue with advil. This nasty flu has to take it's course before she can feel better. Also, she can bath in warm/hot water and add a little lavender oil in the bath. Lavender helps to relieve aches and pains.

She needs to stop taking advil and all those medicines, that's going to slow down her recovery time greatly because its suppressing the very defense mechanisms her body is using to defend itself.
Ultimately she is just prolonging her suffering, cause suppressing the symptoms is the most illinteligent things you can do when your sick and allows the virus to spread more. Your girlfriend needs to just tough it out and stop complaining.
Make sure she gets atleast 3-5 grams of vitamin C a day. You can also get her colloidal silver and give her one dose, which will greatly reduce the remaining time she's sick.
She needs to come off of advil.
Robitussin cf is a cough suppressant and nasonex is generally a nasal symptom reliever. It's up to you two to determine if it's worth taking them or not, but I'm sure neither of them is anything but healthy to use.
Again, suppressing symptoms is the worst thing you can do. But I agree with the other poster that said to take a bath. Otherwise she needs to suck it up, people in life end up in more regretful situations than that.
