If the flu is going around your house it is important that you take a few steps to prevent it spreading.
If it is practical try to keep the people who have the flu away from those who do not.
Encourage everyone in the home to wash their hands often.
Launder hankies often and immediately dispose of tissues.
Aim for a healthy lifestyle a balanced diet, rich in fruit and vegetables, and regular (preferably daily) physical activity.
Do not smoke - smokers are more likely to catch a cold or the flu.
Boil your toothbrushes. Boil some water, add a cup of vinegar and boil your toothbrushes for about a minute - not too long or they will melt! This kills germs before you get the flu the second time around!
