How should I treat viral infections?

1. Over the counter medications such as pain relievers, decongestants, and antihistamines can reduce the severity of the symptoms, but do not eliminate the virus itself
2. Get enough sleep, drink plenty of fluids, and make sure to get proper nutrition
3. Ask your doctor about taking antiviral medication
4. If symptoms worsen and fever continues, contact your doctor. Viruses can develop into secondary bacterial infections!
