Did you know? What to do if you catch the current “flu” wave

As winter deepens across Zimbabwe, a widespread flu-like illness is once again making its presence felt

1)Isolate yourself and avoid people so that you don’t spread the infection

2)Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, you are losing water through fever, sweating etc (the goal is for your pee to remain light yellow or clear, that’s a simple sign you are well hydrated)

3)Rest, to help your immune system fight the flu infection.

4)Take Paracetamol 8 hourly to combat the fever, headache or body pains achiness associated with the flu.

You may also have to look for ginger and Citrus fruits which are plenty now, oranges, lemons, naartjies
for vitamin C to boost/help your body fight the flu

This is all because flu is a virus with no cure, you will naturally be okay within 7 days. And since its a virus we also know amoxicillin or any other antibiotic won’t work, and we should not abuse that other antibiotic injection. Both won’t make you better but using them for flu is putting yourself and whole nation at risk of antibiotic resistance.
