If you&#8217;ve had the disease in the past, your body has previously produced antibodies to support that particular strain of the virus. In the coming years, viruses are comparable to those you&#8217;ve found before; either by holding the disease or receiving a vaccination, those antibodies may inhibit infection or reduce its severity. Antibodies against infections you&#8217;ve faced in the past may not protect you from, unlike influenza strains that can be pretty different viruses from what you had previously.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_flu_treatment\"><\/span><strong>What is the flu treatment?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, you&#8217;ll require complete rest and lots of liquids to treat the flu.
