The Flu

When you get the flu you know you have or are getting it by, runny nose, sore throat, a pretty good cough, exhaustion and weakness and muscle aches and pains. When you start to get this symptoms you want to go into preventive measures as soon as possible. You want to drink plenty of fluids like water, orange and Gatorade. I would try to drink a little of each. Make sure you get a good nights rest and continue to rest to get over this flu. Try to rest but as you all know most of us have jobs that we have to go to and we can't stay home unless we are really sick with the flu. Do what you can. Just rest and relax, maybe turn on some relaxing music or play that favorite video game. Watch your fever, and call a doctor if it gets out of control. People with weak immune systems like the elderly should contact their doctor with any indication of the flu. Your going to want to blow your nose often to keep the air ways open. Try taking a hot shower, that might make you feel better, that is what I always do because I love my hot showers. Try drinking some hot liquids or having a bowl of soup, that always hits the spot. You will want to stay away from caffeine, cigarettes or alcohol when you are sick, the flu will feed on it. Another thing that will help is washing your hands a lot, getting rid of all them germs. If you didn't get your flu shot, that could have prevented it and you may not even go the flu. Make sure you get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids, I hope you feel better and just relax and try to enjoy yourself.
