[color=6ecff6]"I-it's okay."[/color]  Liz murmured shuffling her feet in the dirt, or rather just the small patch on the concrete.

[b]"Hmm....nausea, soreness of the chest and other areas, fits of coughing and chills..."[/b]  For a moment or so he pondered scratching his chin.  He knew what it was alright.  It was common on base all the time, and damned he be to get it, especially out in the desert while wearing thirty pounds of gear in the hot sun.

My suggestion, just make sure she gets lots of rest and lots of fluids.  You don't want her getting dehydrated.  The pharmacy should have some flu medicine still in stock, just to keep down the symptoms, but the main thing is to make sure your friend gets plenty of sleep.  That always takes care of the flu, well, it did for me when I got it on my last tour of duty.  Damn, that was fun."[/b] He said with a light chuckle.
