Do you feel as if you were run over by a bus, do you feel so sick you\u2019re really afraid you\u2019re going to die, or even more to the point do you feel so ill you\u2019re afraid you won\u2019t die?<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re suffering from achy limbs and body, your head is throbbing and your temperature is through the roof, then welcome to the Flu!<\/p>\n
The flu is a real beast, and it has many sides to it. Although there are only three main types,\u00a0Influenza<\/a>\u00a0A, B, and C, they have an unfortunate ability to mutate into thousands of different forms so whilst you have\u00a0immunity<\/a>\u00a0to the strain you had last year, it\u2019s not necessarily the fact that you will have the same\u00a0immunity<\/a>\u00a0this year.<\/p>\n Is there an escape from the flu? Well maybe (it depends), and yes there are some precautions you can take which will help you either get over the\u00a0flu<\/a>\u00a0or prevent you getting it in the future.\u00a0 But unfortunately when the\u00a0flu<\/a>\u00a0bug has you in it\u2019s clutches, there just isn\u2019t much you can do about it and you\u2019ll be down for the count.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re hoping that when you\u2019ve dragged yourself to the doctors he will prescribe you antibiotics, then think again. The flu is a\u00a0viral infection<\/a>\u00a0and antibiotics just simply don\u2019t work on viruses. It\u2019s only if it progresses to a bacterial infection that you will find antibiotics will do you any good.<\/p>\n Stay at home<\/strong><\/p>\n The flu is very infectious and it spreads like wildfire. If you like to play the Martyr or you\u2019re a workaholic and you go into work you\u2019ll do more harm than good because you\u2019ll just give everyone else it.<\/p>\n Stay at home until at least a couple of days after your temperature has returned to normal and if your children have the flu, keep them at home from school until they\u2019ve fully recovered.<\/p>\n Ensure you get plenty of rest. Don\u2019t try to beat the flu, go with it. (You\u2019ll probably be too sick to fight it anyway). Bed rest is essential so make sure you get plenty. Bed rest lets your body combat the flu virus. If you\u2019re still active whilst trying to get rid of the flu, will weaken your defences and open you up to possible complications of the\u00a0flu<\/a>.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t stint on the\u00a0pain relief<\/a>, but don\u2019t overdo it either. You can take aspirin, paracetamol or brufen to reduce your temperature\u00a0headache<\/a>\u00a0and body aches that accompany the flu but make sure you don\u2019t take more than the recommended dosage. (Read any labels carefully)<\/p>\n We Recommend:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have a history of getting the \u2018traditional\u2019 one or two\u00a0colds<\/a>\u00a0a year and\/or a bout of\u00a0flu<\/a>, then\u00a0Viral-Protec<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>would be worth trying.
