Prevent the flu!

flu-prevention-lrg

Follow these tips to help prevent the flu:

  • Get the flu and pneumonia shot. It’s at no cost to you! Talk to your provider to find out if you need both.
  • Stay home if you are sick to prevent from spreading the flu to others.
  • Wash your hands often and cover your mouth when you cough.
  • The flu shot will not give you the flu.

 

Symptoms:

  • Fever between 100° & 104° F & chills
  • Fatigue & weakness
  • Headache, muscle or body aches
  • Cough, runny or stuffy nose
  • Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting

 

How to Treat:

  • Remember the flu is a virus, and antibiotics will not cure it. Over-the-counter medicines can help to reduce symptoms. Talk to your pharmacist or provider today.
  • Get plenty of rest.
  • Drink plenty of fluids.
  • Cover up with a warm blanket to calm chills.
  • Put a humidifier in your room to make breathing easier.
