So it's been 15-20 years since I've had the flu and I haven't really had a reason to go to the doctor in over a decade, but my kids have had it and I don't remember them being tested. What's the point of testing someone for the flu anyway? I guess the same can be said of COVID, since we don't have any approved therapeutics so what's the pay off of knowing your positive for a disease there's no special treatment for, but I get that that's more for tracking purposes than treatment ones. Anyway, back to the topic at hand why would you test some one for the flu? Is the treatment for feeling like shit due to the flu different than if you felt like shit and didnt have the flu? Stay in bed, take plenty of fluids and eat what you can keep down. Is there some other treatment Im not tracking?
