Z-pak

Why is it whenever I'm sick, my local dr. thinks the Z-Pack (Zithromax) is the only way to go. I've been suffering from this flu since Super Bowl Sunday and have no relief yet. I'm very congested in my chest and can't get any "gunk" up. Any suggestions to make me feel better?

Had the flu shot in November, too.

Flu

My two children and I got flu shots and my husband opted out....he got the flu BAD...the kids and I got a lighter version of it and it lasted only a day where his lasted 6 days. I am glad we got the shot. Where we live in Indiana the flu is everywhere!
