More than 30 states across the U-S have reported “high flu activity.” Dr. Trish Pearl, an infectious disease expert at Johns Hopkins Hospital, advises patients to see their physician if experiencing flu-like symptoms. She adds guidance on how to care for yourself if you're feeling under-the-weather. She says one of the most important things to do is keep the fever under control. One of the keys to feeling better is taking medicine like ibuprofen to reduce the fever and even foods like chicken soup could help.
