Your best bet is to get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, and eat healthy food. Stay at home to prevent yourself from infecting others. If you become severely short of breath, severely lethargic, or you have underlying health issues, check with your care provider to see if there are medications that can be helpful. Getting an annual flu vaccination may also be recommended; again, check with your care provider to see if this is a viable option for you.
