Have have you got antibiotics if not you need them it won’t go away in it’s own
Flu itself is viral and antibiotics won't help. However any secondary infection could turn out nasty. In my case a minor chest infection developed into (bacterial) double pneumonia with pleural oedema that put me in hospital for couple of weeks, and two courses of Doxycycline and then one of Amoxicillin. This was at the end of last November.
Recovery from pneumonia can take several months and I still have relapses. The lousy British winter doesn't help.

Amazing isn't it? First day of meteorological Spring tomorrow, and we've been catapulted right back to weather more typical of January. 7.9C at almost 3pm, the "warmest" part of the day, moderate rain and gloomy. Only saving grace is lack of wind.
I really wish we had proper seasons again and in their right places.
Edit: note to pedants, my observations are subjective, I post as I feel.

Spent another lunchtime in the garden sunbathing in just shorts. Air temp felt smidgeon lower than Tuesday. Given the forecast I suspect there'll be quite a while before sunbathing outdoors again.
-
Just spent two hours in my back garden catching the rays in just shorts.
Hopefully given the strength of the sun now I topped-off my level of Vit D3. Unfortunately I can't record the temp. as my outdoor sensor is fully exposed to direct sun.
First sunbathing session in what is still winter.

Garden fence panels damaged with two fence posts snapped at the bottom. Fortunately it's the housing association's job to repair/replace the damaged sections. At one time I was worried one of the posts could come crashing through my bedroom window.

Wind howling through the power lines just down the road. There's going to be a lot of structural damage before the night's out.

Sunny with light breeze. Not been outside yet but with the forecast 5C it won't feel all that warm. Looks like tonight could see the matinee for the expected main snow event.

This damned wind looks like I may lose a fence panel.
