What to do if you or a loved one gets the flu

In the United States right now the Flu has become a major widespread epidemic.Every State is reporting deaths and multiple cases. Here is what to do if you get the flu.

1. Go to your Emergency Room or Urgent Care IMMEDIATELY. The sooner they catch it the quicker you can get medication for it. The flu has a sudden onset though so you might end up sick at just a moments notice.

2. Be prepared to pay dearly for medication even if you have insurance. Tamiflu is expensive and many times insurance does not cover the cost. It can run you over $100 USD. Medication like Zithromax can also help so can Tylenol and Motrin.

3. Stay home and be prepared to stay there for at least 4-7 days. It is going to be strongly advised you do so. As being in the open can put others at risk ultimately killing them if they get the flu.

4. Try to eat something even if you don’t feel like it. It’s going to help you regain your strength which you’ll lose a lot of with body aches.

5.Drink lots of fluids

6. Get rest and sleep a lot

7. Be prepared to feel somewhat dizzy at times

The Flu is curable And can be dealt with quickly but you need to listen to your doctor first and foremost and follow the advice of others
