How to Aid a Sick Family Member

Every year many people get sick from common viruses. Sometimes it's someone you have to care for. Here's how you could help them.
Please following this steps

1. Try and find out what kind of sickness they have, and research it. Is it serious, what are the symptoms, how long does it last, etc.
2. Give them lots of fluids to keep them hydrated. Water would be the best choice. Other choices would be ginger ale or lemon-lime soda.
3. Give them medicine made to help them with that sickness.
4. Make sure they only eat light food. Popsicles, yogurt, soup, etc. will do fine because those foods are light on the digestive system.
5. Try and get them washed to help skin fight the germs.
6. Ginger might help if the person is nauseous.
