  The flu, also called influenza, is a respiratory infection caused by viruses. Each year, millions of Americans get sick with the flu. Sometimes it causes mild illness. But it can also be serious or even deadly, especially for people over 65, newborn babies, and people with certain chronic illnesses. […] Most people with the flu recover on their own without medical care. People with mild cases of the flu should stay home and avoid contact with others, except to get medical care. […] But if you have symptoms of flu and are in a high risk group or are very sick or worried about your illness, contact your health care provider. You might need antiviral medicines to treat your flu. Antiviral medicines can make the illness milder and shorten the time you are sick. They also can prevent serious flu complications. They usually work best when you start taking them within 2 days of getting sick. […] The best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine every year. But it’s also important to have good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often. This can help stop the spread of germs and prevent the flu.

[…] The best thing we can do is promote bedrest and lots of fluids – and encourage them to eat good nutritious meals. […] But the MOST important thing we can do is prevent the flu from spreading.

  So lets review the main symptoms of flu. The big thing to note is that the flu tends to have a sudden onset of symptoms (whereas other viruses may come on gradually). Youll get aches everywhere – headache, muscle aches, body aches. Youll have upper respiratory symptoms – runny nose, sore throat, and a productive cough. Some flus can even cause gastroenteritis so youll see vomiting – we call that the stomach flu. And then the flu tends to come with a high fever – usually between 102 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. […] The best thing we can do is promote bedrest and lots of fluids – and encourage them to eat good nutritious meals. […] But the MOST important thing we can do is prevent the flu from spreading. […] The number one method we can use to prevent the spread of an infection is to wash our hands.

[…] Patients most often require hospitalization when influenza exacerbates underlying chronic diseases. Some patients, especially elderly individuals, may be too weak to care for themselves alone at home. On occasion, the direct pathologic effects of influenza may necessitate hospitalization. Most commonly, this is influenza pneumonia.

  Influenza (flu) is an infection in the lungs and breathing passages. It is caused by the influenza virus. Home treatment is usually all you need for flu symptoms. But your doctor may prescribe antiviral medicine to prevent other health problems, such as pneumonia, from developing. Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse advice line if you are having problems. […] Get plenty of rest. Drink plenty of fluids. Take an over-the-counter pain medicine if needed, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve), to relieve fever, headache, and muscle aches. Take any prescribed medicine exactly as directed. Do not smoke. Smoking can make the flu worse. […] Stay home from school, work, and other public places until you are feeling better and your fever has been gone for at least 24 hours. To prevent the flu in the future, get the flu vaccine every fall. […] Call your doctor or nurse advice line now or seek immediate medical care if you have trouble breathing.

  Influenza, also called „flu,” is a viral illness that causes fever, sore throat, muscle aches and cough. Influenza can weaken the body’s defenses and lead to complications like bacterial pneumonia. It can also worsen existing chronic health problems like heart disease and diabetes. […] The best prevention is to get a flu vaccine each year. Since influenza is primarily spread through respiratory droplets, the following infection prevention measures are also important: Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing or coughing. If a tissue is not available, sneeze or cough into your sleeve to contain the droplets (don’t sneeze or cough into your hands). Clean hands with soap and water or decontaminate hands with an alcohol-based hand rub. Stay home if you are ill. […] For information on preventing and controlling outbreaks of influenza in institutional settings, please visit Influenza Outbreak Prevention and Control in Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCF).

  We want to protect our mucus membranes – meaning dont touch your eyes, nose, or mouth unless youve thoroughly washed your hands – thats the quickest way to contract these infections because from those mucus membranes it goes straight into the bloodstream. […] In the hospital theyll be on Droplet isolation precautions – what does that entail? Thats gloves and a simple mask. And GOOD HAND HYGIENE – I really cant stress that enough – especially with droplet transmission. […] So who should get a flu vaccine – well anyone who is significantly susceptible to it. It would be ideal if everyone got it, but we prioritize those at risk. That includes healthcare workers, the elderly and children older than 6 months – remember their immune systems are a bit weaker than the average adult. And then anyone who is immunocompromised.
