Need suggestion for a medicine

zzinco79 · 02-28-2007, 03:10 PM

I got a serious flu.

Can't go to the hospital since I don't have a heath insurance b/c I'm an international student.

W/o insurance, I need to spend hundreds of dollars at the hospital.

Anyone can suggest me any medicine that I can simply buy from CVS or somewhere else?

I have fever, throat pain, head cold, and some sort of eye disease that keep makes tears flowing out of my eyes.

Please help. Someone save my life.

Get some Nyquil/theraflu or similar and plenty of rest. Drink lots of fluids, try eat something healthy and stay in.

Do you have a medical facility on campus?

You may consider ditching that M-Tech bumper “future mod” for now and getting a medical insurance instead?

zzinco79 · 02-28-2007, 03:37 PM

^

That is listed on my future mod b/c I don't have money now.

I probly have medical insurance already.

But I haven't heard and recieved anything from Internation Student Service yet.

They sucks.

You should be covered. All properly enrolled international student should have some sort of coverage. Often the school ensures this prior or at enrollment. At the very least the health center will provide free consultation and free or discounted drugs.

s for saving your life...the Flu is not going to kill you

Damn it, I have the same thing...and Nyquil/Dayquil is not helping much...
Guess, you have to ride it...
I brought it from Japan...or I think I got it on the plane on my way back...

just4kickz · 02-28-2007, 04:15 PM

go to a free clinic lols. if you can find one...

get advil, nyquil, eat when you dont want to eat, drink alot of fluids, warm bath (not shower), sleep.

sucks for you tho... im one of those guys who gets sick pretty often but dont show symptoms... most i ever get is a light strep throat... for all my flaws my immunity is pretty good

Zicam ftw.
If that doesnt work you should just get Tylenol.

WHERE IS MAGMD??? he should be chiming in just now.
on second thought, it might not be a good idea for him to give medical advice online.

you dont have to go to the hospital, im sure there are plenty of private care clinics, cheaper than going to a "hosptial" anyway, those feckers overcharge like crazy

Damn those hospitalists, treating people who can't pay in an emergency.

Student health is the place to start. They'll have a Nurse Practitioner who can treat any symptom, and recognize if it's more serious that you need to go elsewhere.
