How is flu transmitted?

Flu treatment is usually aimed at relieving symptoms and will naturally go away over time. Here are some traditional suggestions to ease flu symptoms and speed up the recovery process:

1. Get Plenty of Rest: Your body needs rest and recovery. Resting in bed can help you maintain your energy and recover faster.

2. Drink Plenty of Fluids: Warm fluids like water, herbal teas, and soups help keep you hydrated. This can help relieve a sore throat and other flu symptoms.

3. Watch Your Diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and protein can help support your immune system. Eating foods rich in vitamin C can be especially helpful.

4. Gargle with Warm Salt Water: This can help relieve a sore throat.

5. Humidify Your Room: Increase the humidity in the air in your room by using a humidifier. This can help relieve nasal congestion.

6. Wash Your Hands Frequently: Wash your hands regularly with soap and water to prevent the spread of the flu virus.

7. Herbal Teas: Herbal teas such as ginger, mint, and chamomile tea can soothe your throat and support your immune system.

8. Echinacea and Vitamin C: Echinacea or vitamin C supplements (with a doctor's recommendation) can support your immune system.

I will have some important questions for the history:

• How long have your flu symptoms been going on?
• Do you have a fever? What is the default value?
• Do you have other symptoms such as headache, muscle aches, or fatigue?
• Do you have any chronic diseases or medications you regularly use?

I am not a real doctor and this is not a medical diagnosis.
