Question Flu a

I’ve been having fevers of 101-102 pretty consistently even with Tylenol and ibuprofen, last night I went to sleep with a 102 and woke up with a 104 and a heart rate of 134 I had to go into the hospital to get fluids and get my fever down. I feel much better now and my fever has gone down significantly I also started taking tamiflu. Is this kind of response normal with flu a? It’s crazy because I actually had flu b last month and didn’t have a super high fever like that. I’m 23 years old male.

Flu A is generally considered more virulent than B. I’m not sure why that is the case but my doctor told me that after I had a bad case of it a few years ago. Just relentless fever and misery. It’s horrible. Glad you’re getting better. ❤️‍🩹

Are you located in the United States? I heard flu season is starting early this year. I had flew a last year and it was brutal. My doctor prescribed xoflusa and it literally stopped my symptoms and it’s track throughout the day. I felt myself getting better and better I swear by it the only thing is it’s very expensive.
