Recover Quickly From Being Sick
Get plenty of rest (your immune system needs sleep)
Stay home if you have a fever
Take over-the-counter medications as directed (taking "twice as much" of any medication is dangerous)
Take all of the prescription unless otherwise advised
Adjust your diet (eat light, fresh foods and avoid dairy products)
Don't exercise if you have flu symptoms or chest congestion
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and don't smoke
