IV therapy is not a cure for the flu or severe colds, which are caused by viruses. However, it can offer supportive benefits to help manage symptoms and potentially support your immune response:
- Hydration: Fever and congestion can lead to dehydration. IV therapy ensures you stay properly hydrated, which aids your body’s natural defenses.
- Nutrients: IV drips often contain vitamins and antioxidants, like vitamin C and glutathione, which may contribute to immune function.
- Reduced Symptom Severity: Replenishing fluids and electrolytes can help alleviate body aches, headaches, and fatigue associated with the flu or severe colds.
Important Considerations:
- Not a Substitute for Antivirals: If your doctor recommends antiviral medications for the flu, IV therapy should be considered alongside, not instead of, prescribed treatment.
- Rest is Essential: IV therapy complements rest and fluids, which are crucial for recovery.
