Go get some elderberry syrup. You can find it at stores like Rite Aid, CVS, and Target. According to the Loyola University Health System, elderberries have antioxidants that may help stop the flu virus from replicating. It won’t get rid of the flu – but it can shorten the duration of your illness and ease symptoms. The prescription? Mix 1 tablespoon of elderberry syrup into water or tea, 4 times a day.

Here’s what to do, according to Dr. Neil Schachter, director of the respiratory department at Mount Sinai Hospital:

• First: Hum a tune. The vibrations will loosen mucus in your airways, so you can cough it up, or blow it out into a tissue.

• Also, try an elderberry supplement. Which can reduce congestion and shorten the length of a cold or the flu.

• And if your symptoms are really bad and hit suddenly, get an anti-viral from your doctor, like Tamiflu. It can relieve symptoms and shorten your illness.

• Finally, if you haven’t gotten sick yet – take a zinc supplement. Research shows it can protect you from a cold. And if you DO get sick, one or two lozenges a day can cut the length of your cold. But don’t overdo it… Because too much zinc can cause a permanent loss-of-smell in some people.
