Fever* or feeling feverish/chills.
Cough.
Sore throat.

  2. Stella 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.

    2. I agree with you.
      Vitamin 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.

    3. 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.

    4. Vit c is water soluble medication so excess of it, no side effect!

      Delete
    5. Broomstick, I want to believe there's something else causing the flu and not Vitamin C. Definitely not Vitamin C.
      Like 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

    1. Correct kokoma. You will rather have flu than aboliki messing you up.

  4. I 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.

    1. Pele 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.

      Delete
    2. Robb inhaler is a no no. One can easily get addicted to it coz it only gives a temporary relief. Lime and honey is good.

      Delete
  5. Try Ginger, garlic and cayenne pepper.

    All raw.
    Thank me in the morning Stella.

  9. If you tell a chemist you have all these symptoms, the first advice is to treat malaria, if it doesn't work,u treat typhoid.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Be taking hot/warm water and avoid anything cold.

  11. Stella you can try steam inhalation, it works wonder. Then antihistamine medication.. Sorry, Pele.

  12. Stella,

    I swear by that aboniki o, you can mix it with small Vaseline so its not too hot. honestly you will feel better.

    ReplyDelete
  13. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yea aboniki helps alot.
    You 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 👍

  24. A 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.

  36. Stella, sorry about the flu.. It's soo inconveniencing!!!

    There 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!!!

    1. 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.

    2. CORRECT!

      Lemon juice and warm water plus Honey works for me.

  37. 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

  38. A mixture of Cummin, original honey and good quality olive oil or coconut oil mixed together with Apple cider vinegar works magic as well
    It soothes the throat and help to expel mucus from the throat and lungs.

  42. Omygoodness... 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...
    Anyway, 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
