Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 23 years old. I have been feeling sick. Feels like the flu. Can it be a lung infection? Is it dangerous? Should I get to the ER? I took some medications but still did not feel alright.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I have read your query, and I am sorry for such discomfort. If your other friend has some sort of lung infection, then it is likely that it would transfer to other nearby people from aerosols that he was coughing out. Having flu at present does not necessarily mean you are having the same or similar lung infection. You should take medications for the flu. If it resolves, it means everything is alright, but if symptoms persist, then you need to get medical help.
I hope this helps. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
