Likely got secondary infection during flu

I am in mid 20s. Today is my 7th day. I still have fever and congestion.

For last 2 days, my fever have been quite better around 99.4-99.6 without fever medication after days of 100-101 fever. Unfortunately, I have again developed fever above 100 mark. Also the cough and runny nose is still there. Sometimes I get dizzy during walks. My behaviour has become rude and mean too.

My bad habits likely caused this. I used to walk 25 minutes every morning for groceries as I had no other chance. This would have strained my immune system. I also had a wrong habit of drinking less water as well as not drinking warm fluids. Also my immunity is weak due to stress from failures in life.

My secondary infection isn't confirmed by doctor but it's 100% likely. Symptoms don't worsen after a week. Now I am even afraid to tell my doctor as I am responsible for this.

How to never get flu/cold?

All people in my family have a weak immune system just like me. I am in my 20s. Actually we can't help. We have other problems in life which keeps us chronically stressed.

I don't even take flu seriously as it happens once a year to me. When it hits me, I feel sick for many days and my whole family too. It is extremely terrible for my employment. Employers can fire me if I take so many leaves. My other coworkers just take 2-3 day leave for this illness and I have to sit at home for whole week.

Cannot even drive because there is risk of accident. Cannot even walk out as flu comes back. I had to eat tons of medications. It's so frustrating. I wish I never get this infection.

Is there nothing in this city?

I have passed out from school around 6 years ago. I often watch fb profile of my schoolmates to see where they are now and what they doing. I feel like I am among few guys who is still staying in Lucknow. Most of them are now living in Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Noida, Ghaziabad, Surat, Nashik, Delhi, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and even cities like Toronto, Houston, Dallas, London, Melbourne, Hamburg.

What's wrong with this city? The ones who are coming to Lucknow are the ones who did schooling from other UP districts which are too poor. The ones who did schooling in Lucknow are fleeing.

When you do schooling in Lucknow, you will feel ghosted after leaving school, if you stay here. It's the darkest fact about being a Lucknowite since childhood. Most of the mates who have stayed in Lucknow are from business background.

Flu fever not going away

I am taking fever medicines twice a day yet it keeps coming back. I also have a bad cough stuck in my chest. I am taking vitamin c + zinc tablets, chopped garlic, antihistamine, steam and paracetamol, yet I am not improving. TODAY IS DAY 4. I AM HAVING FEVER FOR 4 DAYS!!

Fever medicine heals my fever temporarily. It again comes back after a period of fever getting eased. My fever isn't even mild. It's 100-101. I am in 20s. Don't know what's wrong with my immune system.

I go to grocery store every morning where I walk for 20-25 minutes. Isn't this why I am not healing? I do rest whole day. I do get 7 hours of sleep.

It doesn't seem normal to have fever for 4 days.

These things are very common in youngsters who have failed in life

They don't have any clarity about their abilities and what they want in life. They often focus on multiple things which are not even similar to each other in field. They have often multiple good traits but have no mastery over anything.

Good students as well as backbenchers know their path more. Average or below average students are unclear whether they are meant for studying or something else. Backbenchers know they have to take up their family business/real estate after 12th or go to media or sports.

Failed youngsters have a common habit of taking hard steps in the last moment. They will decide their path just few months before leaving 12th. When they enter college, they will plan ahead only in last semester. Their decisions often change.

Another habit I have seen is sitting at home in the name of govt exam preparation. Normal youngsters usually study in college or do some job while preparing. It wastes their time.

They also don't seem to have any structure in life and emotional resilience. They cannot even manage and balance their routine. Their low emotional resilience is the reason why they get easily overwhelmed and avoid the hard process.

Just wanted to spread awareness. I know many guys who are facing failure in their career.

Who has been the biggest disgrace to New Zealand cricket?

In my book, it's Jesse Ryder.

He was a fairly talented batsman with some good moments on field. He could have a better legacy had he maintained discipline. Blud had zero control over his sick drinking habits.

It's shameful that he destroyed his whole career for a peg. I think he badly regrets what he has done in past. He singlehandedly destroyed his all good fortunes. He seems to be the only Kiwi who cannot handle his drinking habit.

Scott Kuggeleijn comes pretty close but he is neither talented nor he has any recognition. Jesse Ryder had a decent talent and was popular among Indians.

What's according to you?

Why do doctors prescribe antibiotics for flu from day 1?

I am always prescribed antibiotics from day 1 for flu. It is said that antibiotics are bad for gut and cause antibiotic resistance. We cannot question doctor's advice too. Afterall, they are right.

Flu is a viral fever. Secondary bacterial infections start later on. I find it unnecessary to prescribe antibiotics as it will affect patients' general health.

What should flu patients do if they are taking time to rec9ver

My mom has flu since last 4-5 days yet she has low grade fever of 99.0-99.5. She had her peak fever in day 2-day 3. She has a really bad cough. Her cough isn't even improving inspite of taking medicines prescribed by doctor. Her low grade fever keeps on returning inspite of taking fever medicines.

Even my sibling has caught flu. He is having 100 degree fever and a bad cough. He has to go tomorrow for work at any cost. If he doesn't improve tomorrow, he is fucked.

We don't know what to do. I am unable to guide them to heal from flu fast. I myself have no knowledge about what vanishes infection from body overnight and ease cold. They are taking rest and hydration. Don't know how rest and hydration works.

My family members either have poor immunity or don't know what works for what and what to expect.

It's better to be never satisfied with your money until your retirement

Satisfaction with money makes you feel less motivated and get careless with money. That day comes in future where you struggle if you continue this mindset.

We should just keep on rising and getting ahead in our career. You have to develop the hunger for earning more and more. When you stop craving for more growth and stay content with how much you earn, you stay stuck in that position. When you stay stuck, you are at risk of getting bankrupt as anything can happen in life. That means you shouldn't be content with how much you earn until you retire.

You will have to plan for your retirement since day 1 of your earning. Invest as much as you can. Don't care about expenses, just seek growth in your career and invest money. Enjoyment and luxury is a part of life. Rather than worrying about losing money in health, travel, luxuries, fun, this wouldn't worry you when you can earn more. Being relaxed about future only puts you in really stressful situation later.

It's better to be serious and stressed about money in a comfortable position than being in an extremely troublesome situation in future after years of being relaxed. Shahrukh Khan wouldn't have been Shahrukh Khan had he stayed content with mediocre money he had in past.

Need suggestions for proposed metro line

It's not going to be executed right now, it's just a proposed plan by LMC. Don't know how it will work.

They have proposed a plan of building a metro line which connects Polytechnic chauraha to BBD and Anora Kala. I mean the straight one road which takes you from Polytechnic to Kamta to BBD.

This is a very terrible route in Lucknow. I want this to happen so that I don't have to see huge crowd while driving there.

The problem is how are they going to make a flyover for metro? There is already a flyover from Polytechnic to BBD. Yes, there is already a metro route for Munshi Pulia which passes through Polytechnic. I think civil engineers will have to connect another flyover to that existing flyover.

If they make flyover, then they will have to close everything around the area during construction period. God knows what they will do to shops around that route. I hope a new metro line can take away traffic from that route. I am not even an engineer or expert. I cannot decide the fate.

I wish AI could do this

I mean, asking something about the instagram video I watch. Unfortunately, no AI can do this, whether it is Chatgpt or Gemini or Meta AI.

I always have to take the longer route. Download insta video, upload it on AI app and then ask. Or use screen recorder and upload on AI app. It seems so hectic and time wasting.

That Google Gemini personal assistant pop up can only talk of screenshots rather than whole video. I wish I could ask and talk to AI while going through some insta video rather than recording/downloading it and then wait for upload.

Gemini does have live screen sharing but it is only voice enabled, not chat.

What's the purpose of Meta AI app?

Today I download Meta AI app. It is around 110 MB. When I started using this, I found it extremely useless.

I cannot even generate videos. Image creating ability is very ordinary. It's thinking ability is also poor. I wasted so much data on downloading this.

I thought I could post insta video links to Meta AI and ask about the videos but it is not possible to ask about insta videos on Meta AI by just sharing link.

Not happy with this feature at all

When you press and hold home button, a pop up appears which is Google Gemini AI. You can speak or type.

Earlier, I felt excited to notice this feature. Unfortunately, I can only capture screenshots for which I can ask about in AI pop up.

That would have been better if this AI pop up feature could capture videos. I want to ask something in this feature about the video I am seeing in my phone. Gemini has this where you can share screen live, buy it's only microphone enabled. I would have loved it if I could communicate through typing while sharing screen live.

Colleagues are like enemies

They always try to bring you down and tarnish your reputation in front of management. It's suffocating to work with these guys. They don't even like you.

First of all, they will find your mistake. Later, they will report you. They also seem bitter and jealous of you. I have seen that. Both of my parents have endured this in their workplace.

We work just because we have to survive. We have to work with these people because it's a general rule, otherwise there is no reason to have good relations with these people who hate you from their heart.

ISKCON devotees are actually losers in life

ISKCON was made for catering to these losers. These type of people keep ISKCON alive. They actually don't know the reality of life. They just want to escape this tough world. They thought world is so rosy, when they cannot handle, they escape in ISKCON.

They failed to fight in this world. What I have seen ISKCON devotees have very poor emotional resilience. World is indeed really hard.

I cannot even respect these devotees. All emotionally weak guys.

One thing was better during Akhilesh times

I once had a talk with my friend before 2022 elections regarding Akhilesh and Yogi. He said law and order is better under Yogi but there were more vacancies in govt jobs under Akhilesh times.

These days it's more harder to get govt job. Afterall, govt jobs guarantee long term well being and peaceful retirement. They get allowances too. This Yogi govt is unable to create more vacancies.

Akhilesh era was not completely bad.

What effect idling will have on my brain?

I just heard of this thing. I don't know what it is properly.

According to my idea, idling means staying idle for particular amount of time where there is nothing in my brain.

I think this technique as closing my eyes, do nothing and keep brain empty. My stamina to think well isn't great at all. When I am met with daily issues in my life, I am just blank in my head. I try to think but struggle to clarify.
