Dr. Jeffrey Linder, Chief of Internal Medicine at Northwestern Medicine, joins Jon Hansen, filling in for Lisa Dent, to discuss the rising cases of the flu. Dr. Linder says that the increase of flu cases is from a new strain that started in Europe. He encourages at-home remedies: Over-the-counter medicine and rest for people who are feeling sick. If a fever lasts more than 2 to 3 days, or you’re short of breath, Dr. Linder encourages people see a doctor. “It’s just a flu,” says Dr. Linder. He shares that for some it can be a more severe case, and how they can stay safe.
