Is it the flu or a cold that you have?

Here’s few links of the subject:

There are many other links on this subject, too.

Bottom line, when you get sick, stay at home and rest so your body can heal the sickness, stay warm, and stay hydrated. That’s about all you can do.

Now you can take over the counter drugs to help treat the symptoms (there are some anti-viral drugs you can try, too), but in the end it is your body that will heal itself. 

At least you get an immunity out of it, too. That’s the good news. The bad news is that there are lots of different kinds of colds and flu’s out there, and one immunity most likely will not help fight another kind of flu or cold.
