> 1. Take a simple analgesic such as Advil as directed on the pack, 2 tabs 4 times a day - this will releive the fever, the headache and the pain in the chest
>
> 2.Take a cough suppresstan plus expectorant such as Mucinex DM, 2 tabs twice a day. This will relive the cough and help you bring up the muck in your chest
>
> 3. Stay warm inside the house, drink plenty of warm drinks, and maybe take some vitamin c

>The Advil is a good idea Jono, which I forgot to put in my post. But the cough medicine with the DM in it is not a good idea b/c it could cause serotonin syndrome since he is on Prozac. Just an FYI :)
