How Long Does the Flu Last For Without Antibiotics?
Do antibiotics make a difference to your flu symptoms and duration? These are important questions to ask before you decide how to treat your flu. So let's look at what flu is and what this indicates as far as your health is concerned. Then you'll be in a better position to make an informed decision.
Flu is a virus. Antibiotics only treat bacteria. They are given to you when you have flu partly because there is no effective medical treatment for a virus and partly because flu can (but doesn't necessarily) result in a secondary problem, one of an infection.
However, the intensity of your flu symptoms, along with its duration is far more dependent on how healthy your immune system is. A healthy immune system is likely to react strongly to an acute ailment such as the flu, but be of short duration. So you may get a high fever, severe body aches, but it's all over in 12 hours. This is a sure sign that you are healthy. It needs no interference, no antibiotics. You are coping just fine.
If your immunity is compromised, then your flu will be a milder version, as you don't have the strength to throw out a violent fever. It will also be of much longer duration, for the same reason.
Taking antibiotics will further weaken your health, making it more difficult to recover, perhaps making a convalescent time afterward necessary, and maybe leaving you with lingering symptoms such as fatigue, afterwards.
If you prefer to work with your body's best efforts to cure itself, if you prefer to use a system of health care which boosts your immunity rather than weakens it, then you may like to consider the advantages of homeopathic care over mainstream care.
The appropriate homeopathic treatment for colds and flus have an immediate beneficial effect on your health, possibly shortening your flu to hours rather than days or weeks. Good homeopathic treatment also ensures your tendencies to getting flu is reduced. The nest one will be less severe, they will become increasingly infrequent.
How long does the flu last for? That depends on how healthy you are to start with and your choice of treatment.
