Student Health Tip

Cold care tips
Cold and flu season has arrived. Though there is no cure for the common cold, managing symptoms effectively can reduce their severity. Check out Alert! Cold Care Tips (pdf) to help your student if he/she catches a cold or the flu.

Following these recommendations may reduce the severity of respiratory symptoms and decrease the amount of study and class time your student loses. 

This health tip brought to you by NAU's Fronske Health Center.
