| Defend yourself
from a cold or flu |
| While you have a cold or flu... |
- Always place your hand over your mouth when you sneeze—and wash your hands before you touch another person.
- Use paper tissues instead of cloth handkerchiefs to avoid giving the virus to others.
- Drink plenty of fluids, especially if you have a fever. Liquids are also soothing to a dry, irritated throat and may help relieve coughing.
- Get adequate rest in a well-ventilated room.
- Use a cold-mist vaporizer to increase the humidity in the air—that will help loosen mucus and relieve a dry throat. (Be sure to clean the vaporizer after each use.)
