  1. Unproven Home Remedies That Don’t Work for Treating the Flu The flu isn’t just a bad cold. It’s influenza, a viral infection that strikes your throat, nose and lungs. Although people may refer to a stomach virus as the “stomach flu,” that’s not the same thing.

  2. Don’t Take Cough Medicine Although the flu can leave you with a nasty cough, over-the-counter cough medication may not soothe your symptoms. You need something stronger than your average drugstore cough medicine.

  3. Don’t Lie Flat When you have the flu, all you probably want to do is rest. Curling up in your bed is your best respite, but it may not help the situation. When you lie down. Instead of resting flat, consider propping yourself up with pillows.

  4. Don’t Take Ice Bath Have you ever heard that you should take a cold shower or ice bath when you have a fever? Doing so won’t bring down your fever. A warm bath or shower can reduce your body temperature, though.

  5. Don’t Drink Alcohol Alcohol can make you feel drowsy, but it won’t help you sleep in the long run. Plus, it can dehydrate you. When you have the flu, you might feel feverish and delirious. Adding alcohol to the mix can exacerbate those symptoms.

  6. Don’t Take Unnecessary Antibiotics When you’re not sure what ailment you have, you might be tempted to take antibiotics just in case. They can’t hurt, right? Carelessly taking antibiotics can leave your body more susceptible to infection.
