It's not too late to get your flu shot
This has been a relatively mild flu season so far, with only a fraction of the cases that were reported last year. But that’s no reason to skip getting your flu shot! The flu vaccine has been updated this year to combat new strains of the virus, and experts think it may perform better than last year’s. Even if a flu vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting the flu, it can make the illness less severe if you do get it.
According to Dr. Kathlyn Ignacio of the Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group in Sorrento Valley, “I know a lot of people are not believers, but the data really shows that getting the flu vaccine is probably the most important thing you can do to help reduce the incidence of flu."
Dr. Ignacio said the elderly, very young and chronically ill are most at risk.
To avoid getting the flu or a cold, remember these tips:
She also urged cold and flu sufferers to stay home from work and, in most cases, don’t rush to see a doctor, if you do get a bad cold or flu.“That way, you're not spreading your germs or your viral particles around and getting other people sick,” Ignacio said. “It's just best to stay home."
A flu shot can make some people feel tired for a couple of days afterward. Here are some ways to combat that tired feeling, First, it is recommended that you take it easy. This is the time to rest. You need time to restore your energy. Also drink plenty of fluids. Keep yourself hydrated. The body loses a lot of fluid while mounting the immune response. Keep the muscle hydrated. The best things to drink are plain water, coconut water, and tea; you definitely shouldn’t drink sugary drinks or sodas.
