FLU NEWS YOU CAN USE You might be sick of hearing about the flu, but a recent study undertaken at Purdue University estimates that 63% of the U.S. population will be infected. Here at Tips, we'd rather our AOL members get sick of hearing about the flu than actually get sick with the flu. There are strong opinions all over the Web regarding everything from vaccines to remedies, so we've pulled together all our flu resources to help you make informed decisions.Medications and Prevention -- there are several drugs available to help prevent and treat the flu, but these medicines don't always help. What else can actually help prevent getting the flu and what is just a myth? Vaccines -- concerns about the safety of vaccinations seem to be growing. What are all the pros and cons to getting a vaccine? One big concern is that the vaccine will actually give you the flu -- read what the experts say. If you decide to get a vaccine, which type is right for you? Coping With the Flu(s) -- what is the seasonal flu? And what is H1N1? What if the symptoms keep coming back? If you think you have the flu, when do you see a doctor? If you don't have a primary care physician, use this helpful Doctor Finder. And keep up-to-date on breaking flu vaccines, news and announcements with AOL Health News. |
