The show must go on and American Idol is surely no exception to the rule.

Following Megan Corkrey coming down with a mean case of influenza B, American Idol's Dr. Sean Nasseri prescribed the contestants, the judges and Ryan an antiviral flu medicine called Tamiflu.

"These are some amazing performers and entertainers and they're just pushing themselves to the limit to really outperform everyone in the past," said Dr. Nasseri. "They have a lot of engagements, they have a very busy schedule and they're working their butts off.

Anxious to for the cast to return to good health, Ryan inquired as to when the flu will be cured.

"Hopefully in the next four or five days, because the incubation period for anyone that has been exposed to the flu is typically four to seven days unless they have an immune issue," said Dr. Nasseri. "So four or five more days and we should be clear, hopefully."
