Body aches and pain are more difficult to treat without medication. Getting plenty of rest will help shorten the duration of these symptoms. However, if you want to relieve your pain, you can take non-prescription medications such as ibuprofen, while validating the indication with your pharmacist.
The treatments recommended above may help alleviate the symptoms, but they won’t make you any less contagious. It’s always best to stay home to avoid infecting your friends and co-workers.
That being said, head out to visit your pharmacist for recommendations for your symptoms.
Note: If you have had the flu for more than 10 days, please see your doctor.
