Influenza or Flu is a contagious airborne viral infection characterised by sudden onset of symptoms like fever, headache, sore throat, cough and muscle pain. Patients infected  should not be delayed for antiviral therapy. Patients at high risk of complications, including pregnant women, should be treated with antiviral agents, preferably within 48 hours of symptom onset. Physicians should follow proper guidelines from the WHO and CDC when treating patients with influenza.

Treatments for flu (influenza) include home remedies such as resting in bed, avoiding physical exertion, and avoiding alcohol and tobacco use. Hydration is important, and minor aches and pains can be relived with over-the-counter  medication such as acetaminophen,brufen and paracetamol. Avoid spreading germs and the flu virus by washing hands often or using alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Stay away from others until you are fever free for 24 hours. Cover sneezes or coughs with the inside of your elbow, or use a tissue and throw it away promptly.
