Learn what you can do to help your family this flu season.

5 steps to take if you get the flu

Stay at home and rest.
Avoid close contact with well people in your house so you won’t make them sick.
Drink plenty of water and other clear liquids to prevent fluid loss (dehydration).
Treat fever and cough with medicines you can buy at the store.
If you get very sick, are pregnant, or have a medical condition that puts you at high risk of flu-related complications (like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), call your doctor. You might need antiviral drugs to treat flu.

Bringing down a fever will make the person feel better and help patients rest.

Treating a fever without medicine

Put a cool, damp washcloth on their forehead.
Wash their arms and body with a cool cloth.
Give the person a slightly warm bath.

Treating a high fever with medicine

Look for the ingredients “acetaminophen” or “ibuprofen” on labels.
These medicines may take 30 to 45 minutes to start working. They may not bring fevers down to normal temperature.

When a fever causes a seizure

A seizure makes you have jerky spasms and can also make you pass out. In rare cases, a fever can bring on a seizure, called a “febrile seizure.” Seizures brought on by fever are more common in young children. Call the doctor or get medical help for seizures.

Any child younger than 3 months who has a fever should see a doctor.
