Tips to protect the caregiver
|
|
|
- Avoid being face-to-face with the sick person.
- When holding small children who are sick, place their chin on your shoulder so that they will not cough in your face
- Talk to your health care provider about taking antiviral medication to prevent the caregiver from getting the flu.
- Clean your hands with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub after you touch the sick person or handle used tissues, or laundry.
- Monitor yourself and household members for flu symptoms and contact a telephone hotline or health care provider if symptoms occur.
