Influenza: This is a self limiting viral illness. Increased fluids, tylenol (acetaminophen) and rest.

Treating Flu: The best plan is to rest, and maintain good fluid intake. You can take tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin for control of fever and severe aches. Flu symptoms typically run a short course (7-10 days). No matter what, if you have any concerns, go in and see your primary doctor right away.
