If you have a fever, muscle aches and pains, a dry cough, runny nose, stuffy nose with congestion, a headache, or fatigue that comes from all of these discomforts, you may very well have the flu.

If you suspect the flu, call the doctor. The doctor can give you some help fighting the flu.

If you have an increased fever, or blood in your mucus, neck pain or stiffness or pain in your chest, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! CALL THE DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.

Some things you can do for general relief from symptoms include getting some rest. By staying home from work for a couple of days, you help yourself and spare your co-workers from your illness. Drink plenty of fluids and take general pain relievers and over the counter pills to lower fevers and other physical symptoms.

There´s a lot to be said for chicken soup. Use it!
