Dr. Scott Mitchell answered

Specializes in Bariatrics

Recover: Really all you can do is what grandma always used to say....Rest and get plenty of fluids and wait for your immune system to do the rest! some extra vitamin c couldn't hurt. If symptoms persist or become severe or you become dehydrated you need to see a doctor immediately!

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
