Dealing with a nasty flu

Do you have somebody in your home down with flu lately? Flu is really nasty and weakens down your entire system creating irritating mood swings. The post here describes on how to deal with nasty flu effectively.
First of all, you can use ibuprofen or Tylenol to treat up the fever. It’s also advised for the patient to take ample rest as otherwise it would hamper the immunity. Then, drink plenty of water- the physicians have advised to take up gallons of water during flu which would be equivalent to half of the patient’s body weight.
The patient must go for nutritious food chiefly when he is down with flu. It’s better to count on onion, garlic, thyme and rosemary in the diet since these have anti-viral properties. Gargling with hot salty water each day twice in morning & evening would prevent the flu infection from spreading to the throat.
