If you have the flu: If you are sick with the flu, protect yourself and limit the spread of the flu: Take flu medicine as directed, if ordered by your doctor. Be sure to take the medicine as many days as your doctor ordered. Call your doctor s office or health clinic if you have any side effects to the medicine such as nausea, vomiting or a rash. Take a fever reducing medicine such as acetaminophen, also called Tylenol, or ibuprofen, also called Motrin or Advil. Ask for help in reading the label for the amount to take and how often to take it. Take over the counter medicine for cough and runny nose as needed until you feel better. Ask for help in reading the label for the amount to take and how often. Get plenty of rest. Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of fluids each day such as water, broth or sports drinks such as Gatorade or Powerade. If you have vomiting or diarrhea: Drink plenty of fluids. Take small sips throughout the day to ease nausea. Eat foods such as toast, rice, crackers, applesauce, bananas or low sugar dry cereals. Use a cool-mist humidifier to ease breathing. Humidifiers must be washed with soap and warm water each day to keep them clean. Stay away from others as much as possible to prevent the spread of the flu. Wash your hands or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer often. Cough or sneeze into the bend of your arm, not your hands. If you have a tissue, cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue away, and then wash your hands. 2
