TYT Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 It's not "good" for the flu, it's just good to have liquid going into your system when youre ill. Most kids, and adults, dont like to drink plain water so the alternative is a non-sugar beverage. The more liquids you drink, the less chance of dehydration and the faster your body fights the infection.

kylejn Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 My mom always gave me 7-Up whenever I had nausea (I've never had the flu, and haven't gotten a flu shot in years... coincidence? I think not...) because she said that I needed to stay hydrated regardless, but that the 7-Up would be easier on the stomach than water.
