Get Through The Flu With These Tips

It's no shock Flu season has been a bear. We still have MONTHS to go and it's only getting worse. Here are some helpful tips to help you survive the Flu.

1.  A thermometer to track your fever.  The pharmacist recommends checking your temperature at least twice a day when you're sick. MAKE SURE to clean with alcohol after each use if multiple people are sick in your household!

2.  Lots of fluids.  Water is ideal but it's hard to drink enough when you're sick.  So you should also have stuff like Gatorade or Pedialyte to help replenish electrolytes. It's helps to do 1 part water and 2 parts powerade or gatorade according to my Doctor.

3.  A fever and pain reliever, like Tylenol or Motrin.  Just be sure to read the directions for any medicine you use and be especially careful with children. Children's Motrin or the generic equivalent works good to. Consult a Doctor or pharmacist if you're not sure what to do!

4.  Medicine for chest congestion . . . a nasal decongestant for a stuffy nose and sinus pain . . .  and a non-drowsy antihistamine for a runny nose, postnasal drip, or watery eyes. ALSO, Delsym is a WONDERFUL cough suppressant!! 

5.  Finally, some tissues and some disinfecting wipes to stop the spread of germs. Tissue with lotion really help stop the chaffing on your nose too.

I hope these ideas help you survive a tough cold and flu season.
