Answers:
The cold/ Flu virus is self limiting!. Nothing you do will shorten symptom duration!. Encourage him to push fluid intake, get rest and take paracetamol for any pain and/or temperature!.

You do not need to put him on a liquid diet, it will not make any different to the virus or help get rid of it!. You can keep the windows open, that won't make any difference either!. It's fine to give him whatever food you want!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Are you hell bent on torturing your husband while he is already feeling poorly with 'man-flu'!? Why not go the whole hog and rub his chest with goose fat as well!?

Nothing that you are suggesting will have the slightest effect on his viral illness, which, as Rhianna rightly says is self limiting anyway!.

Make sure he has plenty of fluids, eats what he fancies and takes appropriate doses of paracetamol!. Bed rest offers no benefits either, comfy chair by the TV and make sure his pillows are plumped up and comfy!Www@Answer-Health@Com
