Being careful to flush the system every night with therapeutic dose of liquid antiseptic.

I only drink bourbon if someone else bought it (shouldn't be rude after all). If I'm to spend my money, I buy whisky - not corn liquor.

Tylenol Cold and Flu capsules
Mucinex
Sudafed
Cepacol Sore Throat and Cough lozenges
Emetrol (for nausea)
Imodium
Ibuprofen

On reviews, each out performed similar OTC products.

Some have antihistamines, decongestants, cough suppresants, etc. Make sure you don't double dose by accident. I generally get single products and make my own combinations as needed.

That's a good list. I also have otc dextromethorphan for cough suppressant at night, in pill form for stability because cough syrup form usually has shorter expiration date, it's mode cost effective and doesn't taste like syrup.

I like to make hot lemonade with ginger and honey too.

I didn't get the flu but I got two 10 day colds a month, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc. AFTER I was hospitalized for pneumonia when I lost over 30% of my blood internally (one or the many possible strains of pneumonia) I was given a pneumonia vaccine but it is only for bacterial, not viral, pneumonia. I recommend everyone get a pneumonia vaccine too! Wash your hand constantly and drink a ton of water.

Also suggest a shingles vaccine.
Not flu related, I know.

The eyes are just as much a portal of entry for germs as the nose and mouth.

I try to teach moms and kids at the pediatric office to rub their eyes with their knuckles rather than their fingertips. We don't touch nearly as many surfaces with the backs of our fingers as we do with the palmar surfaces.
