It's that time of year again. All you need to do is go into your classroom or go around your dorms and you'll hear people with runny noses and other little diseases. My goal in this article is to give you some advice on how to prevent yourself from getting the flu or at the least limiting your chances, so hopefully you can have a good winter.
Getting a Flu Vaccine is obviously the easiest and most common way to trying to prevent yourself from getting the flu. The flu vaccine is designed by researchers to stop the three most popular types of flu. If it doesn't protect you from getting sick, it will definitely make it milder than what it would be. People who are in contact with a lot of people are at very high risk for getting the flu
Taking everyday precautions is vital to staying healthy during the winter months. Washing your hands frequently is an obvious one, but trying to avoid touching your nose, eyes, and ears at all cost because those are direct opening to your body.
If you go to the doctors and get antiviral drugs, use them. The antiviral drugs will prevent the virus from reproducing in your body and will make you feel better faster.
Flu-like symptoms include fever (usually high), headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose and muscle aches. So if you have a multiple amount of these symptoms, do something before you get worse.
