I have teenaged grandchildren - what’s the best way to help them if they get this? And for their parents? Does therflu help or hurt?

I have teenagers and wonder the same thing.

Further up in the thread, or maybe on another one, 2,000 units of Vitamin D are thought to be effective with the symptoms.

One thing to do is to have everyone of adult size (including older teenagers) take a Vitamin D supplement of about 2000 units a day. Alternatively they could stay in the bright sunlight 20 mins a day (or more if the skin is dark) with a lot of skin exposed (legs, arms, head). The latter is perfectly fine for little kids too. No sunscreen.

There is evidence that people with enough Vitamin D in their systems don’t get the flu. You can google it for more info.
