I was just reading a piece about a little boy who died from a brain infection secondary to the flu. The article didn't provide much detail. I'm looking for a better link now.
There are flu meds with Advil. Used to have some with aspirin, but aspirin has fallen out of favor now.
And it appears that Tamiflu isn't so safe either. With every drug, it seems there are always potential side effects and adverse reactions, some of which can be fatal. I guess we all have to decide what's best for us by weighing risks and benefits.
