Lorde was sick, but still performed at the VMA’s
Last night the MTV music awards took place and while everyone looked amazing on the red carpet there were a lot of surprises on stage. One of the weirdest moments of the night was Lorde’s performance, where she didn’t even bother singing and danced and galloped on stage. But still, everyone loved her dance routine. The 20-year-old was actually very sick from the flu, but she didn’t want to miss out from performing or disappoint her fans.

The singer knew that there was going to be a lot of talk about her performance, especially since she has such great vocals, which is why she decided to perform even though she felt sick. We could only imagine how much courage and strength that took.
Why did Lorde need an IV for the flu?
Normally, when someone has the flu they are told to drink plenty of fluids, water, tea, and chicken soup because when you have the flu you typically have a fever which can cause you to sweat and dehydrate. Other symptoms of the flu that dehydrate you are persistent diarrhea, vomiting, and frequent urination.
When it gets so bad that your temperature doesn’t go down, or other symptoms persist, then you have to go to the hospital where the first thing they do is put an IV to make sure you are keeping hydrated.
In addition, IV fluid relief for the flu may contain several vitamins, including vitamin C that restores your energy and helps your body fight the infection, Zorfan which is an anti-nausea agent, and Tordalm which is an anti-inflammatory depending on how weak you are.
One of the biggest mistakes people do when they have the flu is not to get medical treatment. They think it’s something that goes away on its own or they take over the counter medicine, but if a day goes by and you don’t feel any better and your temperature doesn’t go down, then you need to see a doctor or go to the hospital ASAP. Don’t take your health for granted and seek medical attention as soon as possible because people have died from the flu or developed more life-threatening conditions from it.
