Dr. Emdur:
There are studies to show that vitamin D supplementation will prevent you from getting the flu and decreasing your risk of spreading it. Secondly, if you do get the flu, there’s an anti-viral agent called Tamiflu that you can take, but it must be taken within 24 hours of the symptoms, which include a high fever, arthralgias and myalgias.
And the third thing you could do is to prevent your family from getting it is make sure you are wiping down all services in the house with a Lysol-type solution, door knobs, computer tops, desktops and practicing, you know, good oral hygiene.
