May have been exposed to soemone with the flu or serious virus. What can I do to try help myself?


They are seeing the doctor right now, and as concerned as I am for them I'm also worried for myself now. We shared food, drinks, and more I hope I don't get ill now too...

So any suggestions as to how I can try help myself from getting sick now? I know if I was exposed to it than I'm probably already doomed... I'm going to try drink lots, but what else can I do?

Attempts to boost your immune system now (taking vitamins, etc.) will be too late. But you can aid your immune system's fight by avoiding stress and getting extra sleep (your body will be able to direct more energy toward making more white blood cells that fight infection.) Your body is already fighting off the virus this way.

Yes, and do drink lots of water. Keep clean to avoid putting more bacteria into the body for it to fight off. If you smoke or drink alcohol, stop. Echinacea and other herbs have been shown to be ineffective at fighting off colds after all.

Just let your body do what it does naturally: Survive. Good luck!

I don't agree that it's too late. If you have no symptoms yet, you can get an antiviral treatment from the doctor, and you can also take zinc tablets.

Get cracking!

not much....improve your immune system - as best you can
