How do i avoid catching the flu when somebody in my house has it?

i dont have a flu shot either? also is it true that if you dont treat the flu that you will get phnemoneau(spelling is wrong) help i really dont want to catch the flu!!

also what are the symptoms of the flu ?(sorry soo many questions)

All of the supplements have not been proven helpful, unless you are deficicent in them. That said, someone mentioned, wash your hands. That is huge. Secondarily, if you can, you can use oseltamivir prophylactically.

well the obvious....washing you hands ALOT. and staying away from them and germs. dont use the same soap,blankets,pillows, or anything that they use!

You take/drink vitamin C like crazy, wash your hands constantly and make sure everyone else covers their mouths and washes their hands. Besides that there's not much else you can do unless you have someplace else to stay while people are sick.

It would be hard for you not to get it if someone in your house has it. In fact, getting flu is some sort of a routine for everyone because there is no exact cure for flu. Our body will create it's own cure. You can boost it up by taking Vit C and a lot of mineral water. If you dare to try, don't take any medicine. Just eat fruits high in Vit C and drink plenty of water. You should be fine in 3 days. By the way, taking Vit C can give you some slim chance from not getting flu.

wash your hand good and don't put things in your mouth or nose,that's where most germs come in through

Zinc is as important as C, maybe more so. Take a Zinc with magnesium along with C.
Don't put your fingers in your mouth, or eyes, nose.
Wash your hands before you touch or prepare any food.
Alcohol your door knobs, often.
If they cough and you breath it in, then you rely on your zinc and C.

im sorry i dont think this is possible cuz i was wondering the same thing my whole family recently had the flu .my lil sis had it first and then she gave it to my mom, and then i got the flu somehow and i stayed away from both of them and washed my hands........then yesterday my lil brother is sick. so my advice is to wash hands stay clean dont use the same utensils as your sick family member.and try to stay away from the sick person stay away from close contact.

i dont know about the pnewmonia part but i have the flu right now i feel bad for my family.lol i hope they dont get it.just sstay away and dont get in contact wt anyting tey drink or eat
