Flu/Common Cold Care
I'm down with the flu. The sneezing, runny nose, post nasal drip, nose block etc have started. Judging by my history, the coughing and phlegm will start soon. Is it possible to stop the infection at this stage so it doesn't advance to the next stage? Or is the infection going to run its course no matter what measures I take?
