Getting started treating flu

• Treatment should be started immediately at the first symptoms to prevent the disease from progressing any further.  At the slightest reaction and at the first signs such as chills, sore throat, dizziness, etc., action must be taken. Don’t wait for the flu to develop fully.
• Keeping your body warm, even if you feel feverish, as this will help eliminate the virus. The feet must also always be warm, because this is where most of the blood accumulates. So always put on socks or put your feet near the heater.

• Consume hot dishes and avoid cold water or ice, for example, as these could worsen the symptoms.  A sufficient supply of fluids is very important. You should drink twice as much as you normally would, preferably lukewarm water and warm herbal teas. The loss of fluid could then make the symptoms even worse. Fever is a defense mechanism of the body because the heat then kills viruses.
• Always use fresh handkerchiefs if necessary so that you don’t keep coming into contact with the virus. In this way you can also prevent infecting other people. It’s best to stay away from others and sleep in your own room so that other family members don’t get the flu too. You should sleep longer than normal to give your body time to recover.
