Those pesky holiday colds and flu nothing to sneeze at ...
If you happen to
be suffering, quickly
getting over a cold or
the flu will help re-
duce the chance of
you giving the gift of
illness to your loved
ones and other people
you’re in contact
with.
The following
tips can help you get
on with holiday cele-
brating:
*Stay Hydrated.
The American Lung
Association recom-
mends drinking at
least eight glasses of
water or juice per day
to keep the lining of
the nose and throat
from drying out.
Avoid drinks that
contain caffeine and
alcohol, since they
can lead to dehydra-
tion.
*Just say “no” to
antibiotics. According
to the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration,
antibiotics don’t help
fight colds and the flu.
In fact, taking antibi-
otics when you have a
virus may be more
harm than good be-
cause they increase
the risk of antibiotic
resistance.
*Take a supple-
ment. To reduce cold
and flu symptoms,
some doctors recom-
mend taking supple-
ments like Cold &
Flu, part of the
“Spray” line of sub-
lingual sprays.
*Keep the germs
to yourself. Since cold
and flu viruses are
spread from person to
person, the CDC rec-
ommends that you
cover your mouth and
nose when you sneeze
or cough and wash
your hands with soap
and warm water after-
ward.
If soap and water
aren’t available, use
an alcohol-based dis-
posable hand wipe or
a gel sanitizer. Con-
tinue to clean your
hands all day.
