There are other ways to protect against cold and flu season:
- Cough and sneeze into your elbow.
- Wash and sanitize your hands often, especially after using computer labs and other equipment meant for public use.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Refrain from sharing food, drinks and cell phones.
If you are feeling sick, check to see if you have a fever. Fevers are key indicators of the flu. Flu symptoms also tend to appear very quickly. Colds settle in slowly with mild sniffles and coughs. If you are sick, take plenty of time to rest, drink fluids and take over the counter medications to reduce discomfort.
