Influenza is acquired by touching a contaminated surface or being around someone who is sick. There are ways to prevent getting the flu such as washing your hands regularly, staying home if you are sick, avoiding contact with sick people, cleaning common surfaces, and getting the flu vaccine.

Treatment for the flu may include drinking lots of fluids, taking pain relievers to help with fever and headache, resting, and taking antiviral medication. Currently, the three most common antiviral medications that are recommended are Oseltamivir (Tamiflu), Zanamivir (Relenza), and Peramivir (Rapivab).
