What to Do When You First Notice Flu Symptoms

Flu symptoms often come on suddenly, making it difficult to respond quickly. You may go to sleep feeling fine then wake up with symptoms. Since there’s no cure, it can be difficult to know what to do. However, many people find that IV hydration therapy helps to bring fast relief from early flu symptoms.

Common Early Signs of the Flu

Generally, people tend to experience:

  • Extreme fatigue. Simply getting out of bed may seem almost impossible.
  • Headaches and body aches. Aches are one of the most common flu symptoms.
  • You may feel like you can’t get warm no matter how much you turn up the heat.
  • Sore throat. If you’re also experiencing the symptoms mentioned above, it’s likely that you have the flu and not a cold.

Steps to Take When You Notice Flu Symptoms

The flu is a common illness, but it can put you out of commission for a few days or even longer if not handled correctly. You can also make other people sick if you’re not careful. Here are some of the things you need to do.

Boost Your Nutrient Intake with IV Hydration Therapy

Vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can help to relieve your symptoms and speed up your recovery. The sterile saline solution will also provide the extra fluids that you need at this time. Flu sufferers tend to benefit from vitamin C, vitamin B12, glutathione, zinc, and magnesium. Since people who are unwell often don’t have much of an appetite and may not be able to keep fluids down, IV therapy is the most efficient response.

Get Your Rest

Sleeping gives your immune system an opportunity to fight illness. If you slow down and get some rest when you notice the onset of flu symptoms, you may recover more quickly.  Many adults need about nine hours of sleep when they have the flu but you should give your body what it needs.

Pay Attention to Hygiene

You need to try to avoid making other people ill. You should stay at home as much as possible in the early days and wash your hands frequently if you live with other people. Try to limit physical contact and sanitize any items that have to be shared among you. If you have to go out, be sure to use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
