ReplyDeleteEat onions
DeleteI HAVE TO WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTER SO U CAN NOTICE. FADTEST CURE, SQUEEZE LIME ADD HONEY. IN 24HR U WILL START GETTING RESULT .B4 3DAYS ITS CLEARED, DO AS FREEQUENT AS Possible
DeleteYes lime and honey works even for kids.
DeleteLemon and honey also works. Get well soon dear. keep hydrated , drink chicken soup
DeleteThat's becos it's a viral illness, it will resolve on its own
DeleteStella sorry oh. Me I handle flu by avoiding it 😂 With my vitamin c supplements and at least 3 litres of water a day. Can't remember when last I had it.
ReplyDeleteThat is me up there Stella. I Don't go a month without flu
DeleteI agree with you.
DeleteVitamin C 1000mg and loooots of water keeps it at bay.
However, I recently noticed I was beginning to show symptoms like stated above, I simply increased my dosage.
Day 1, I took 2500mg (2 tablets of NowFoods C1000, and 5 tablets of our normal white Vitamin C)
Day 2, I took 3000mg and I am good as I type.
Have just reverted to my usual dose of 1g per day.
Vitamin C is bae plus it doesn't have any bad side effect.
Arianna, that last sentence isn't correct. At least for me. Excess vitamin C takes me on a very straight and smooth path to flu. I maintain my 1000mg per day plus folic acid and vitamin B complex. I get allergic reactions all year round and used to drip EVERYDAY. I took allergy drugs, as recommended by a doctor but after completion, few days later I start dripping again. Since mumsie opened my eyes to the benefits of vit B complex, my nose has worked perfectly. I don't recommend anybody take an over dosage please.
DeleteVit c is water soluble medication so excess of it, no side effect!
DeleteBroomstick, I want to believe there's something else causing the flu and not Vitamin C. Definitely not Vitamin C.
DeleteLike Anon said, VC is water soluble. The only negative effect it can ever cause is diarrhea and that is actually used to determine your body's normal dosage. You're advised to take one dose less after the diarrhea and once it stops, then you maintain it as your normal dosage.
I even use it for my children and will be ordering Ascorbic acid granules soon.
Excess of VC passes out through your urine.
However, I agree our systems differ. What works for 92 might not work for 8.
On B complex and Folic acid, I believe every woman should make it a must (that's if you're not on a complex supplement).
As a mother I can never over emphasise the goodness of this 3. Still doing more research on a personal level
Stella no just try tha aboniki own o. Except u wan dance kokoma.
ReplyDeleteCorrect kokoma. You will rather have flu than aboliki messing you up.
DeleteI just recovered from mine. It's allergies! Happens to me every springtime. For sore throat i add salt to vinegar and gargle and in about an hour the sore throat is gone. Take anti-histamine medicine and use vicks or robb inhaler to decongest your nose.
ReplyDeletePele Stella, just get Robb inhaler for ur nose and throat, then put small aboniki inside hot water dip in small towel and place it on ur forehead gently and use it on ur chest also, u will be fine.
DeleteRobb inhaler is a no no. One can easily get addicted to it coz it only gives a temporary relief. Lime and honey is good.
DeleteTry Ginger, garlic and cayenne pepper.
ReplyDeleteAll raw.
Thank me in the morning Stella.
Yeah.....I agree.
DeletePlus bitter kola
DeleteSorry abt d flu stella. U can add some few drops of Eucaplytus oil in a boiled water(poured in a small bowl),cover yrslf in it to allow u inhale d steam from it for abt 2-3mins. Trust me,u will b fine.
ReplyDeletePele ko.
Gbam,you are right
DeleteLies it comes back after about 4hrs
DeleteThat's the treatment, she must do It twice a day she will be very sound on the 2nd day self.
DeleteIf you are in Naija, I'd say take Coflin and Panadol Extra.. Works wonders for me oooh
ReplyDeletePele
Take malaria drugs! With all d above symptoms in Naija it means u have malaria and typhoid dey don't understand wat a flu is over here all dey know is malariatyphoid without any diagnosis from a doc dey go ahead n self medicate. May God help us all
Delete2 tablespoonfuls Honey and lemon 5times a day then take paracetamol and sleep..dnt forget to stay hydrated
ReplyDelete@15:18 I used lime o, the thing disappeared as I shocked. Did it as frequent as possible by day 2,headache flu gone
DeleteIf you tell a chemist you have all these symptoms, the first advice is to treat malaria, if it doesn't work,u treat typhoid.
ReplyDeleteAlways😂😂
DeleteLol. Very true.
DeleteHahahaha, you mean, chidi mix remi ogu! Hahahahaha!
DeleteBe taking hot/warm water and avoid anything cold.
ReplyDeleteStella you can try steam inhalation, it works wonder. Then antihistamine medication.. Sorry, Pele.
ReplyDeleteStella,
ReplyDeleteI swear by that aboniki o, you can mix it with small Vaseline so its not too hot. honestly you will feel better.
Kai @ I can only imagine what you are going through, pele. This kind of cold in Nigeria would just divert to malaria straight without wasting time henxr we treat it as malarial at once. Maybe you keep on taking paracetamol and am tired at least to make you sleep at night. Sorry darling.
ReplyDeleteWe treat it as malaria n typhoid
DeleteYea aboniki helps alot.
ReplyDeleteYou can add some aboniki to hot water cover and steam your face. It will help relief the running nose,then take tylenol or any pain relieving drug to help ease the pain and enough rest 👍
For Sore throat use DinQuadin; for runny nose take Loratidine...for the other symptoms,run a test,might be malaria n typhoid. #selfmedinotgood
ReplyDeleteStella just take Lipton tea with lemon or ginger and pineapple and the flu will disappear to where it came from!
ReplyDeleteI take herbal tea all the time so I can't remember the last time I had flu!..
ReplyDeleteAs for your cough,put palm oil in a pan and add salt.heat it up and drink!...
Sore throat,gargle with a salt water...
Muscles and body ache,get a massage..
Get an over the counter nasal spray for your stuffed nose...

DeleteAutocorrect is a bastard!!😂
Flu and common cold are not the same even though they share symptoms.
ReplyDeleteA strong immune system help fight off all these sicknesses, can't remember the last time i had either cold, catarrh or cough. Take antibiotics twice a year with blood supplements to boost your immune system.
ReplyDeleteStella ndoh oh, flu last for like 3 to 5 days and you'll be fine again
Eat onions

ReplyDeleteStella in Nigeria prayer is the answer to everything wether poverty or flu. Pls call apostle suleiman as he is the trending man of God so he can pray for u. If e no work go to the mountain for 3 days. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteStella for here Na either malaria or typhoid: nothing like flu. So choose one let's tell u what to take.
ReplyDeleteTake Augmentin or a good antibiotic,eat a lot of fruits,drink a lot of water.Take ur bathe,Use RUB HOT on your chest and back,you will wake up like a baby.
ReplyDeleteStella, sorry about the flu.. It's soo inconveniencing!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are 2 QUICK WAYS to cure flu.. Whether Oyibo or Naija way;
1. Cut few slices of Lime,mix with Honey in Warm-slightly Hot Water. 2ce daily. It's soo refreshing!!!
2. For RUNNY NOSE, Put few slices of ONIONS under your feet (inside ur sleeping socks) overnight..and thank me the following morning!!!!
My aunt taught me. I've tried them and it worked like magic!!! Especially the Onions one. I was shocked!!! Onions is present in most homes, so it's way easier to do this method.
Cheers!!!
Please share the quantity of onions cos personally, I'm good at overdoing. I might cut more than 3 mediumsized onions depending on how blocked my nose is.
DeleteCORRECT!
DeleteLemon juice and warm water plus Honey works for me.
Stella Pele oh!..
Lol @ broomstick. Just one Onion oo. Cut it in few slices and put under both feet at night(with ur socks on), and watch the flu disappear the following morning. U won't even remember u had flu.
DeleteKpele...
Hello Stella. Cut onions into quarters and put around the house especially corners and windows. It will prevent the flu from spreading to others. Also cut onion and put on your feet wrap with a crepe bandage and Wear a sock to bed. Take a quarter of onion cut into small sizes add a cup of water and boil for together with a pinch of salt. If u can swallow the onions the better but if not the water alone is fine. Trust this remedy u will be fine in no time
ReplyDeleteA mixture of Cummin, original honey and good quality olive oil or coconut oil mixed together with Apple cider vinegar works magic as well
ReplyDeleteIt soothes the throat and help to expel mucus from the throat and lungs.

ReplyDeleteKeep your tummy light. No overload while you are attempting any of the above suggestions. More soups,pap etc Less solid. You will feel better.
ReplyDeleteOmygoodness... I have seen so many solutions here today but the most amazing (Amamazing) is the cut onion and put in socks and it seems like it works from testimonies...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Naija method looks like borrowed india method from the movie "the other end of the line" hot water, ginger, lime and something else... hehehe
Last last, Stella just combo the whole thingy... Pepper soup (dog meat, pork, chicken, kidney... gbogbo e), Keto cabbage soup, onion in socks, warm water mixed with ginger, garlic, onions, lime, lemon, orange sef, honey, alabukun; then rub robb, vaseline and aboniki; after that you put the aboniki in hot water and inhale... At least the flu no be winch, e must go. No forget panadol extra o
If e no still go, better send that person wey say make you bring #5k for sacrifice...
PS: Get well soonest
Lol!!! SDK you have a big family here. That should make you feel well already. Lol...Get well soon big sis!!!!
