What to do if you catch the flu
October 27, 2009 Office Announcements
The most important things to do are to:
-Rest
-Stay home and try to stay at least 2m from others
-Drink plenty of fluids
How much fluid should you drink?
-If you get a fever, it’s easy to get dehydrated, which means your body doesn’t have enough water.
-Signs of dehydration include dizziness and headache.
-You should drink enough fluids so that you produce urine that is relatively clear.
-Good things to drink are: water, broth, sports drinks for teens and adults (Gatorade), and electrolyte drinks (Pedialyte) for young kids.
-If you’re dizzy, not making urine, or your urine is very dark, you’re not drinking enough.
