Bird Flu Symptoms
You may have H5N1 if you experience typical flu-like symptoms such as:
cough
diarrhea
respiratory difficulties
fever (over 100.4Â°F)
headache
muscle aches
malaise
runny nose
sore throat
The flu drugs oseltamivir (Tamiflu), zanamivir (Relenza), or peramivir (Rapivab) should work against bird flu, although more studies are needed. These drugs must be given soon after symptoms appear.
Unfortunately, H5N1 in humans can be a severe illness requiring hospitalization, isolation, and intensive care.
What should eat
Ice Pops
They can soothe your throat when it's sore, swollen, or dry. They also keep you hydrated, which is key when you fight the flu. Getting enough fluids keeps your mucus thin and eases congestion.
Look for ice pops made from 100% fruit juice to make sure you get nutrients and not sugar water. You can also make your own frozen juice bars. Turkey Sandwich
It has lean protein, a key part of a healthy diet. And although you may not feel like it, eating helps give your body energy to fight illness. Add cranberry sauce for a spike of flavor and comfort-food taste. Vegetable Juice
Since you may not feel up to making and eating a salad while you recover from the flu, try a glass of low-sodium vegetable juice instead. You'll load up on antioxidants that boost the immune system, your body's defense against germs.
Do you crave a sweet taste? Go with 100% fruit juice. Chicken Soup
It helps you get the fluids you need and it's nourishing, too. Some scientific evidence shows that it can help with healing. Hot chicken soup can improve the way tiny hair-like parts in the passages of your nose protect your body from bacteria and viruses. Garlic
If you feel up to it, garlic can be a good choice to spice up foods like soup. It appears to have some ability to boost the immune system and give you slight relief from congestion. Ginger
It may help relieve your stomachache and nausea. Some studies suggest it fights inflammation, too. You can add it to other foods, either freshly grated or as a powder. Another option: Have a drink of flat ginger ale. Hot Tea
Drink green, oolong, and black tea to take in some antioxidants. Breathe in the steam to help clear your stuffy nose. Add a spoonful of honey and a squeeze of lemon to soothe your sore throat. If caffeine bothers you, try decaf or herbal versions instead.
Banana
Whether you slice it, mash it, or eat it whole, bananas are easy on the stomach. They can be a go-to food if youâve been hit with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Toast
Toast or crackers are convenient foods when you're fighting illness. They pair well with chicken noodle soup, and their satisfying crunch can take the edge off hunger when your stomach canât handle much. Meal Replacement Drinks
If your appetite has returned, try one of these to make sure you get the right nutrients and calories. Look for lactose-free drinks that are low in sugar and have at least 6 grams of protein. But if real food can be eaten, that's always the better choice.
