To treat the flu at home, focus on rest and supportive care:
Get Plenty of Rest: Stay home and rest to help your body fight off the infection.
Stay Hydrated: Drink fluids like water, clear broths, and warm teas to replace lost fluids and thin mucus.
Use OTC Medications: Take pain relievers and fever reducers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to relieve aches and fever.
Soothe Airways: Use a cool-mist humidifier, steam from a shower, or saline nasal sprays to relieve congestion and cough.
