If you have only one or two of the below listed symptoms please consider waiting for an appointment at the campus health clinic. They are currently very busy and need to see the sickest patients first. Antibiotics are often not effective on most flu viruses. Rest, plenty of fluids, and over the counter medications are some of the first line of defense against the flu.
Decongestants are good for runny or stuffy nose, which can be purchased at any local drug store.
Ibuprofen or Tylenol are good for fever and body aches.
Please follow the listed directions on the packaging for over the counter medications.
