Flu can hit suddenly and tends to be more severe in the lungs than in the nose, which is one way to tell the flu from a cold. Viruses cause them both. Antibiotics will not help cure a cold or flu. Antibiotics will help with secondary infections that usually breed in the mucous associated with the flu or cold.

Flu Prevention

The nose is your first defense against invading organisms. The nose can do its job of filtering and stopping invasion as long as the air is within 107 - 64 degrees. Overheated or extremely dry rooms (associated with winter) can create difficulties for the nose and compromise its ability to cleanse the air you breathe. Cold, overheated, or moist feet reduce circulation in the mucous membranes and lower the oxygen supply that lowers the antibodies in the mucus - infection can result.

In: Baths, Saunas, Showers, Inhalation, Rubs
Internal - dropped or in tea

Washing your hands and keeping them clean is another major defense against the flu. You cannot wash your hands enough. Carry towelettes when you are unable to wash your hands. Be careful leaving restrooms as the doorknob can be infected. Towelettes or paper towel from drying your hands can be used to open the door and discarded in a waste can outside.

Use:
Rosalina on towelettes for added protection
Use:
Tea Tree
Niaouli
In liquid hand soap dispensers and kitchen liquid soap for hands and dishes.
