Self-Care Tips for the Flu

Limit Your Exposure to Others If you already have the flu, please stay home until you are feeling better. Remain home until 24 hours after your fever is gone (without the use of feverreducing medications). If you are unable to stay home, please remain in your apartment, etc. You should not go to classes, work, dining halls or participate in social activities. Take Care of Yourself Get plenty of sleep and rest. When you're awake drink one 8 oz. of clear fluids each hour. Eat well and ask your friends or family to help you get meals so you that you can rest. Consider taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help lower a fever and reduce headaches and body aches. If you have a cough, consider taking medication with an expectorant and cough suppressant. You can also use cough drops for symptom relief. The flu virus cannot be treated with antibiotics. Also, antiviral medication is usually not recommended. You should seek immediate medical care if you have any of the following: Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath; pain or pressure in chest or abdomen; recurring dizziness; confusion; severe or persistent vomiting; flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever or worse cough.

Campus residents with valid parking permits are okay to park in their assigned lots. It is essential that campus residents correctly advise their guests about the WPB and where its safe to park. For a complete description of the options and restrictions, please visit www.unh.edu/
