Staying healthy during the winter/flu season is so important. The flu is spread so quickly and more and more people are getting diagnosed with it every day. Today, doctor offices are giving flu vaccines to children as young as 6 months old. The flu is a common name for the influenza which is a virus that affects the respiratory system. The flu virus spreads through the air when a person who has the virus sneezes, coughs, or speaks. The flu can even be passed on if a person touches an object that someone with the virus sneezed or coughed on. Flu usually spreads in schools and then the students spread it to their friends and family.
Flu symptoms like a headache, fever, chills, muscle aches, and dry cough usually appear anywhere from 1 to 4 days after a person has been exposed to the flu virus. Someone with the flu can have a temperature as high as 104 degrees. People with the flu often feel achy and exhausted and may lose their appetite. If you get the flu, the best way to take care of yourself is to rest in bed and drink lots of liquids, like water. You should also stay home from school until you feel better and your temperature has returned to normal. Antibiotics don't help people with the flu get better because they don't work on viruses. Be sure to stay healthy, always wash your hands and get as much rest as possible to prevent your self from getting the flu this season. Remember to bundle up and stay warm!
