It’s flu season again! Though not something to be happy about, the flu is curable with these 6 steps brought to you by your local pharmacy in Beverly Hills. Read some of our tips below:
1. Get some sleep
Sleep is really the best medicine. Everyone is busy, but not getting well soon will just make it harder to finish daily work tasks. Also, when you’re sick you’re probably not going to perform as well as when you are healthy and well rested. Sleep at least 24 to 48 hours without any medication.
2. Gargle
It’s important to keep your flu under control. Gargling with salt water is very beneficial when you have a sore throat. It will help reduce swelling and loosen mucus in the throat. To take it up a notch try gargling with green tea that contains antioxidants that helps prevent infection.
3. Zinc
Zinc helps boost immunity. Taking zinc lozenges can help you feel better when you feel sick and they can help shorten the duration of the flu. Don’t have any on you? Take a quick trip to our pharmacy in Beverly Hills.
4. Have a Drink
Being sick puts you at risk for dehydration, so drink lots of water. Drink hot tea to help soothe a sore throat.
5. Soup for the Soul
Chicken soup is a basic and simple soup that contains carnosine. This helps boost the body’s immune system and helps fight the flu during its early stages.
6. Shower Power
Taking a steamy shower can help open congested nasal passages. It will also help muscles to relax from any tension caused by the flu.
Take care of yourself to keep from getting sick by dressing warm and washing your hands. But, if you do end up getting the flu, follow these easy steps to get better quickly. Also, take your healing time to de-stress and re-energize to get back on your feet even stronger than before.
