Flu
6. Recovering from flu
After a bout of flu, many people feel tired or under the weather for several weeks. If you feel like this, these simple measures may help to speed your recovery.
- Try to give up smoking while you feel ill. If you do give up smoking during the illness, try not to start again.
- Try not to have late nights.
- Try not to have too much alcohol.
- Whilst you may not feel up to vigorous exercise, try taking a daily walk.
- Eat a variety of nourishing foods and ensure that you drink plenty of liquid. If your appetite is poor, meal replacement drinks and milky drinks can provide a nutritious alternative.
If your symptoms persist and you don't start feeling better soon, see your doctor.
