Are These Swine Flu Symptoms or Just a Bad Cold? - #15114
I started feeling off two days ago, and now I’m getting really worried. It started with a mild cough and body aches, but now I have chills, a high fever (102°F), and my throat feels like sandpaper. I also feel extremely weak, like my body is made of lead. Could these be swine flu symptoms, or is it just a really bad cold? My biggest concern is my breathing—it feels heavier than usual, and I keep getting short of breath even when I’m just sitting. I don’t have asthma, so this is new for me. I also read that swine flu symptoms can get worse fast, so I’m scared I might be ignoring something serious. I had a friend who got swine flu years ago, and she was bedridden for weeks. I don’t want to end up like that. Is there any Ayurvedic way to strengthen my immunity fast? I already drink ginger tea and eat a lot of garlic, but is there something stronger that can help fight swine flu symptoms? Also, should I be worried about my family catching it? My kids are young, and I don’t want them to get sick. If this really is swine flu, how do I manage it naturally without making things worse? Would love any advice on Ayurvedic herbs or remedies that work quickly.
