Hey gang, I am sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum. But I have been batteling the flu the past 4 days. I have had the fever, chills, body ache, the whole nine. However, I have a cough with it, not a very bad one, but one that makes my whole body hurt when I cough.

Now my question here, is my fever seemed to break yesterday after having it for 3 days straight. I felt ok, but when I would get up from laying down, I would feel dizzy and feel a little out of it. I have dry mouth now, and still cant seem to kick this weird feeling out of me.

Should I consult my doc, or is this just a normal run of the flu?

Thanks in advance.

Scott.
 
you may be very dehydrated. drink lots of liquids....LOTS and see how you feel in a day or so. If not change...probably should go to the doc to make sure it was the flu and not another type of infection.
 
The flu is a very insidious virus and different people have different reactions to it. If you're still feeling weird 24 hrs. after the fever has broken, I think you need to contact your doctor. The flu can develop into pneumonia or a sinus infection, which may require antibiotics. Since you're still coughing, your doctor may want to get a chest xray to make a proper diagnosis. Hope you feel better real soon--take care.
