Rest, fluids: Rest, get lots of water, eat healthy, well tolerated food, lay low, stay warm, keep an eye on your temperature - see a dr. If your temp goes over 103'. If you are vomiting or have so much diarrhea that you get dehydrated, also go see a dr.

Flu: If you have the Flu hydrate well w water, herbal teas, soup or juice. Drink sufficiently to have pale to light yellow urine. You can use pain relievers like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAID’s. Rest A LOT! In some situations antiviral medications (Tamiflu, Relenza, Flumadine) may be prescribed within the first couple of days of symptoms to hasten healing or they can be used after flu exposure to prevent illness.
