High fever accompanied by chills, sore throat, body aches, and a persistent cough are among the first signs of the flu. What sets this seasonal illness apart from a common cold is the rapid onset of symptoms—often within just a few hours—and their progression over the following days.
Knowing your body and depending on the severity of the illness, most people have their own approach to fighting off the virus. Some, experiencing only mild symptoms, manage to carry on with their daily routines, possibly supported by energizing and immune-boosting supplements. Others, however, may require more intensive treatment and a period of rest at home.
Regardless of how a viral illness develops, it is crucial to act promptly and appropriately in order to manage the symptoms and prevent complications such as more serious infections that can pose a threat to your health.
Common Ingredients That Help Manage Flu Symptoms:
- Paracetamol
- Paracetamol helps relieve pain and reduces fever. In higher doses, it may also exhibit anti-inflammatory properties.
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride
Phenylephrine hydrochloride constricts blood vessels and reduces their congestion. This leads to decreased nasal discharge, reduced swelling of the mucous membranes, easier breathing, and relief from other cold and flu symptoms.
Vitamin C
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) supports the body’s overall condition, enhances immune defenses, and provides antioxidant protection.
If staying active while managing flu symptoms is important to you, choose a product that doesn’t cause drowsiness. Fludrex Hot Drink® is used for the short-term relief of headaches, sore throat, fever, runny nose, sneezing, fatigue, and muscle aches associated with colds and viral infections. It does not cause drowsiness and is sugar-free. For enhanced decongestion, Fludrex also contains added calcium gluconate.
