12 Tips for Getting Over the Flu in a Jiffy (4 of 7)

6. Ease your breathing

Feeling congested? Don’t panic! Hum like a happy bee to loosen that phlegm and calm your mind. Steam up the bathroom with a hot shower (bonus points for eucalyptus oil) or lie down and paint the town red with your belly—deep breaths for the win! Remember, gentle movements are your friends, not Olympic sprints. You’ve got this—one relaxing exhale at a time!

7. Take OTC medications

Over-the-counter heroes like pain relievers and fever reducers are your allies. They will lend a helping hand, easing your chills and aches so you can rest and recover faster. Listen to your body, check dosages, and consult a doctor if symptoms worsen.
