get yourselves checked at one of the hospitals no matter the cost and if antibotics are required take them and rest away from others.
I nearly always get cold/flu when I go to Bali and now I get my medication from home and take it with me.
Antibotics cost me in January 09 $50.00 australian its much cheaper to get a script filled in Perth, my doctor had no hesitation in given me a double script to take with me which I had filled.
I always stay in my room until fever is down and I'm feeling a lot better, always mindful not to pass it on.
If I were to get as sick as you got I wouldn't hesitate to go to the hospital because antibotics would be different to ones I have.
Tamiflu would be needed not amoxil.
Hope you are all feeling better I understand it takes time out of your trip when your sick but it's still better to be in Bali than at home. One seems to recover better when in Bali because we don't have to do anything, not like when we are at home.
Cheers thanks for your post.
