Home care advice for the flu

• For most people, influenza is just a “bad” cold. The dangers of influenza for normal, healthy people (2 to 65 years of age) are minimal. Treatment of influenza depends on the child’s main symptoms. Bed rest is unnecessary.
• For a runny nose with profuse discharge, blow or suction the nose.
• For a blocked nose use nasal washes
  • Importance: a young infant can’t nurse or drink from a bottle unless the nose is open.
  • Use over-the-counter saline drops or saline rinse preparations (if unsure of proper use, call doctor's office for instruction)
  • Humidifier: If the air in your home is dry use a humidifier
• Fever medicine: For fever greater than 102 or aches, use acetaminophen or ibuprofen (never use Aspirin because of strong link with Reye Syndrome)
• Cough medicine: For a mild cough or hoarseness use ½ to 1 teaspoon of honey (maybe mixed with warm water) for children over the age of 1 year. For children over 4 years, use cough drops.
• Sore throat:
  • Children older than 1 can sip warm chicken broth or apple juice.
  • Children older than 4 can suck on hard candy or lollipops.
  • Children older than 6 can gargle with warm water and a little bit of table salt.
• Contagiousness: Spread is rapid because the incubation period is only 24 to 36 hours and the virus is very contagious.
