Flu season has arrived, and the Longest Student Health Center at Mississippi State has a few tips to help you stay well and to help prevent the spread of the flu virus.
-- Wash your hands frequently.
-- Fist or elbow bump instead of handshake.
-- Limit your attendance at large events where many people are crowded in tight spaces.
-- Try to avoid others who are coughing and sneezing or have the flu.
-- Toss tissues after using them.
-- Stay home if you are sick.
-- Visit www.cdc.gov/flu for more information.
If you find yourself with flu symptoms -- fever, coughing, sore throat, headache, body aches, runny nose -- medical attention is helpful and medication can be prescribed to assist with the symptoms and reduce the time frame of illness.
