10. Have a caregiver help you
Have a caregiver come and help you when you are sick. If you have a significant other or a family member living with you then you already have a caregiver. If you do live alone, try to get a friend to come over to help you while you are sick. They can not necessarily bring down your temperature or make your sore throat go away, but having somebody there to bring you fluids and check in on you while you are sick is very comforting. If a friend offers to come and check in on, don’t say no. This will make the time while you are sick much easier to handle than trying to do it by yourself.
Getting sick is no fun, but if you do not wish to go to the doctor or take medication, there are some things that you can do to help yourself get over this illness. Following these steps as outlined in the article can help you get over the flu and feel better. However, bear in mind that although flu is generally a manageable illness, it can develop more severe infections and symptoms for some people. This is especially so for people above 65 or people suffering from chronic illnesses. If you find that you do not get better after 10 days, it is best to pay the doctor a visit.
