How do I recover from the flu?
You can take over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as paracetamol and ibuprofen to help relieve any aches and pains and bring your temperature down. Avoid smoking and make sure you eat healthy foods, particularly those rich in Vitamin C, B Vitamins, and minerals such as zinc and selenium, to help support your immune system.
How can I increase my energy levels?
More generally, making small changes to your daily routine has the ability to significantly affect how energetic you feel. An obvious one is to ensure you are getting enough sleep, and that your sleep is of good quality. Although the amount of sleep each individual needs can vary, a rough recommendation is to aim for at around 7-9 hours of sleep each night to maintain healthy energy levels and support overall health. Research also suggests that adding more exercise to your daily routine and staying active could also reduce fatigue and increase your energy levels.
It is also important to drink enough water to ensure you are fully hydrated, as dehydration can have a huge effect on your brain function, mood and energy levels – as well as your health in general. If you drink a lot of caffeine, make sure you are having hydrating drinks also, as caffeine itself is a mild diuretic.
How can I ease a migraine?

Over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as paracetamol and ibuprofen can help relieve the pain, although taking these too frequently may cause medication overuse headaches, making you feel worse. If OTC painkillers do not help ease your symptoms, your GP can prescribe you other treatments including triptans and anti-sickness medication.
