The box comes with 6small tubes inside. Dose, for an adult, is to dissolve the contents on one tube every 6 hours up to 3 in one day.
One box has 6 tubes so that means 2 days doses in one box. One box is $9.99.
Has worked for me and widely used in Europe. It does say something link, “use at first sign of illness..”
If I were you I’d immediately start black elderberry (Sambucus). It works.
What you describe does not sound like flu to me.
When I catch a cold, which can sometimes last for 2-3 weeks, I dope myself up on Nyquil at night and the kind of cold medicine they doon’t let you buy too much of for daytime. The pseudo ephedrine stuff. I know people make meth with it, but it works great for cold symptoms.
Actual flu, however is a different beast. I have only had flu once in my life at that was when I was 16.
I was at the video store renting movies when all of a sudden I did not feel so good. I had just enough time to make it home before I was not able to get out of bed for 3 days straight, and then it was gone.
It basically consisted of a high fever, severe muscle aches, and no energy to even eat or stay conscious for longer than a few minutes at a time. it was awful, extremely potent, and nothing like a cold at all.
Luckily I have never experienced sickness like that again in my life.
It is not an approved or tested drug. That means that no one has ever tested it in rigorous clinical studies to see if it even does anything.
I would never take anything that has not been tested to see if it works.
I believe it is homeopathic. I have never followed that line of health care; maybe another Freeper will know more.
But I can give you three things that might really help you. Viruses don’t have much of a hold on you if your vitamin d3 levels are decently high enough. Start supplementing tomorrow and it may help shorten this virus, but for sure it will prevent most of the rest of them around you this winter. I’d start with 5000 iu a day in a little capsule not made in China.
Next, Liposomal vitamin c can whip almost anything, even help against deadly illnesses. I have personally gotten as far as a very sore throat, plus elevated temp, thought I was a goner, and Liposomal C plus sleep whipped it dead. A teaspoon in Orange juice still tastes crappy but it works. It’s expensive too, BUT IT WORKS. Here is the brand I use but there are others.

Third, if you can find in a health food store or such, oregano oil (a pure essential oil), it’s another killer to viruses. You take the little tiny bottle,to bed with you and once there, rub the oil on the soles of your feet. If you or anyone reading this gets up in the night and might be shaky on their feet, wear socks so you wouldn’t slip. But you don’t need the socks. It’s amazing and also has really worked to cut short a cold or flu. (Some people do ingest this oil but I do not and Not Gonna. Lol.) this one my little kids will do and they know it works. They don’t like,the Liposomal c so they won’t take it.
Get well soon!
The good news is you’re nearing the end of the cycle.
Can’t hurt, really. However, I have my doubts and you could do just as well buying similar products from Utah.
You have strep.
Chloroseptic pump sore throat spray, cherry flavor.
I gargled with that stuff and it really helps.
Kindle’s autocorrect, for your amusement and by the way,
wants to spell ‘chloroseptic’ as ‘homoerotic’.
The BEST bar none for sore throats and I think I’ve tried it all but I’m really impressed with the quick results from these colloidal Silver/ Zinc lozenges ACTIVZ. I think they are expensive but they work quick...great for children...tastes great.

It is a homeopathic medication, which is to say that it is a complete waste of time and money.
As I remember, rye whiskey saturated with rock sugar in the bottle. Maybe some other soothing ingredients also.
I grew up around a lot of serious homeopaths. Man, they are the sickest people I know! They have parties where they compare various types of sugar pills, and the imagined cures.
Of course it may be that homeopaths tend to also have other obsessions — vegan/vegetarianism, psycho allergies, and conspiracy theory mania.
My advice: EAT, SEE AN (”ALLOPATHIC”) DOCTOR!
When you’re done with the antibiotics for your strep...
...be absolutely sure to follow a probiotic regime.
Or you’ll just get sick and feel like crap all over again. The rest of the ‘remedies’ won’t do anything bit drain your bank if your system isn’t restored first.
They do use it in Germany. The thing with MOST homeopathic medicines is that you need to use them (usually) at first symptoms. However, you might find some relief, and if so, then go for it. I take Beta Carotene as a anti-viral which works well as a pain management treatment for Porphyria, which I have, and I get few colds and flu. I cannot take the flu shot so I take my Beta Carotene. I use the 25K strength.
It is also a great preventative for warts. In fact, if you already have warts, you can take 4 of these daily for 2 months, then go back to taking regular strength and the warts will not return. I frequently had warts all over my left hand. When I got them on my feet so badly, as well, a friend told me about Beta Carotene. I SWEAR by it! It still works for a preventative for colds and flu.
Drink a lot of green tea. That helps to reduce cold and flu symptoms and the fluids help keep you hydrated when taking medicine.
I don’t know about that medicine. I do know what I always use for a sore throat—a very warm, strong, salt water gargle.
I gargle every hour or so, if it is a very painful sore throat.
If salt water doesn’t clear up my throat in a day or two, I need a check from the doctor.
Salt water gargles are nasty but they work incredibly well!
I usually "self medicate" because most maladies just need to be waited out until the body conquers it. If something hangs on and it's obvious my body isn't winning the battle, I drag my reluctant fanny to get a medical check so I don't end up letting some bacterial infection gather enough force to vanquish me.
You were tested for strep throat? Always check for that when you have a severe sore throat, because an undetected strep throat can lead to scarlet fever damaging your heart.
