I ve had flu like symptom s for almost two weeks. Aches all over. Flushing face. Dry whacky cough wheezing pressure in chest and behind shoulder on left side when breathing in. Was at dr. Week ago and was told ATypical Influenza. Was given doxycycline and ciprofloxacin. It ll be two weeks tomorrow. Suffering with this and NO better at all. Very low tem from time to time.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor If there is no improvement then you should be reassessed. There should be at least some minimal change over the last 2 weeks. Doxycycline and ciprofloxacin are antibiotics and would treat a bacterial infection but not viral infection. You may need an antiviral agent to treat the flu virus. I hope this helps
