Guidelines for Managing H1N1 Symptoms at Home

If you contract influenza A (H1N1), remain calm and follow these home‑care steps. Keep hydrated with water, herbal teas or oral rehydration solutions. Get ample sleep and limit physical exertion. Wear a mask when stepping outside or when around others, and practice respiratory etiquette by covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or elbow. Wash hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol‑based sanitizer. Take prescribed medicines and nutritious meals on schedule. Isolate yourself from household members who are at higher risk to curb transmission.
