It's that time of year again. Your throat is scratchy, your nose is stuffed, and your head is pounding and you just can’t seem to get rid of it.

In the US alone, between 5 and 20 percent of the population is infected with influenza each year. About 36,000 people die and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized because of influenza complications. But with the right treatment, you don’t have to be sidelined this winter.
