- In conditions typical of influenza and colds (fever, malaise, headaches and joint pain, cough, runny nose, stuffy nose and feeling of a limp ear), stay warm and at rest, get a lot of sleep.
- Ensure adequate fluid intake.

Particularly preferred are combination drugs which contain more than one drug substance, and thus, due to their composition, can help with several symptoms at once (fever, stuffy nose, pain or cough). Consult your pharmacist about their selection. It is necessary to check that you do not take more drugs at the same time and, if you have to, monitor their contraindications!
- If the accompanying symptoms of the flu, especially the fever, do not subside after three days, see your doctor.
