THE FLU JOURNEY
Most of us are familiar with the flu. However, amidst the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to lose track of the important steps we should take towards a quick recovery.
Here are some quick and easy tips to guide you along your flu journey, so that you can bounce back from your sickness and get on your feet quickly.
STEP 1: NOTICE THE SYMPTOMS
People with the flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:1
Fever
Chills
Cough
Sore throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle or body aches
Headaches
Fatigue, which can be intense
Some people may have vomiting and diarrhoea, though this is more common in children.1
STEP 2: MANAGE YOUR SYMPTOMS
The flu is different from a cold and usually comes on suddenly.2 Flu symptoms typically affect your whole body including the lungs and should not be ignored.2,3 To learn about ways to manage your symptoms at home, click here.
Home remedies can be complemented with over-the-counter cold and flu medicines to reduce the intensity and severity of symptoms. Your pharmacist or doctor can help advise on the most appropriate treatments for you. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult your doctor.
OTC medicines like Panadol Cold & Flu* can also be taken to treat the cold and flu. They contain paracetamol and other active ingredients that are effective in reducing fever and relieving your flu symptoms quickly.
It’s important that you don’t take Panadol Cold & Flu* with any other medicine containing paracetamol. Remember to check the label on the product and when in doubt, always check with your doctor.
*In case of doubt please seek medical advice.
Some people are at high risk of flu-related complications, such as young children, adults older than 65 years of age, pregnant women and people with certain medical conditions.4 If you are at risk of complications or if you are worried about your illness you should see a doctor who can advise on appropriate treatment.4
HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF FLU VIRUSES
Wash your hands.4,5
Clean your hands thoroughly and often with soap and water. This is one of the most important ways to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. You should scrub your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds and remember to clean the back of your hands. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser. Teach your children the importance of hand-washing.
Keep surfaces clean.4
Clean kitchen and bathroom surfaces with disinfectant, especially when someone in your family has the flu. Wash children’s toys when needed.
Use tissues.4
Sneeze and cough into tissues. Discard used tissues immediately, then wash your hands thoroughly. To make sure children cover their mouths without using their hands, you can teach them to sneeze or cough into the bend of their elbow. This is really important when they do not have a tissue.
Don’t share.4
Stay away from flu viruses. Avoid close contact with anyone who has flu and do not share drinking glasses or utensils with other family members.
Take care of yourself.6
Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest while you recover.
HOW PANADOL COLD & FLU HELPS
Over-the-counter cold and flu medicines such as Panadol Cold & Flu* can ease flu symptoms and help you get back on your feet.
Panadol Cold & Flu* caplets contain paracetamol and phenylephrine hydrochloride (HCl) as active ingredients. Paracetamol works to reduce fever and stop pain messages from getting through to the brain, while phenylephrine unblocks your nasal passage and helps you breathe by acting on small vessels in your nose.
If your flu includes symptoms such as congested nose or cough, Panadol Cold & Flu* can also help with products such as Panadol Cold & Flu Sinus Max* and Panadol Cold & Flu Cough and Cold*, which contain active ingredients that will help relieve your conditions.
Do not take with any other products that contain the same active ingredient(s). Taking products containing any of the same active ingredients together may lead to an overdose. Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose, even if you feel well.
*For more detailed information, please refer to the local product labelling or leaflet. In case of doubt, please seek medical advice. Your pharmacist or doctor can help advise on the most appropriate treatments for you. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult your doctor.
