JD	Follow these six steps at the first sign of the flu. Call your doctor and ask for an antiviral medication such as Amantadine, Rimantadine, Zanamivir, or Oseltamivir. At the same time, start taking 1 tablespoon of the liquid elderberry extract Sambucol four times a day for three to five days. Also start taking the homeopathic remedy Anas Barbariae Hepatis et cordis extractum 200c, more commonly known as Oscillococcinum or Flu Remedy. Follow the dosage instructions on the package. To relieve headache and achiness, take 500 to 1,000 milligrams of enteric-coated Aspirin, 200 milligrams of Ibuprofen, or 500 to 1,000 milligrams of Acetaminophen every four to six hours, or 275 milligrams of Naproxen twice a day. Don't take Acetaminophen if you have liver disease. Don't give Aspirin, Ibuprofen, or Naproxen to children or adolescents (use Acetaminophen instead). Now that you're medicated, work on bringing your fever down to make yourself more comfortable. Start with cool compresses on the pulse points at the neck, throat, and wrists.If your fever is still high and you're still achy, add a cup of Epsom or sea salt to a warm tub, soak for 20 minutes, then wrap up warmly and lie under blankets to induce a sweat. Adding 10 to 15 drops of Eucalyptus or Peppermint Oil to the bath will help with congestion, cough, and muscle aches Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rhisiart C	Influenza is rarely dangerous in healthy adults sixty years of age or younger, but it does make a person more susceptible to pneumonia, ear infection, and sinus troubles. If you are older than sixty or you have a weakened immune system or with chronic conditions such as heart or lung disease you should consult with a physician. If you are otherwise healthy you should take Vitamins A,C, and E the minerals Zinc in lozenges form. Consume plenty of fluids, especially fresh fruits, herbal teas, soups and quality water, to prevent dehydration and help flush out the body. Eat plenty of hot chicken or turkey soups. This is grandmother's old remedy and it is still good today. Add a bit of cayenne pepper to help prevent and break up congestions. Avoid dairy products and mucus forming foods, and sugar. Fever is one of the body's major defense mechanisms against the flu. Flu viruses do not survive well in warmer environments. If you have a fever, do not try to suppress it, unless it is over 103 F.
