eat some oranges or other citrus fruit (vitamin C helps to boost the immune system) , have honey and tea (honey has natural antibiotics and some kind of lemon/ ginger tea if you can ginger is also supposed to be good for colds ) eat some healthy food, (like chicken soup homemade if you can manage) get lots of sleep so your body can focus on recovering, drink lots of water and take some cold medicine.
Fluids! Lots and lots of fluids. Drink way more than you think you need to drink. Eat hearty soups and lots of rest. Some anti congestants and some pills for your fever and then just rest in bed and find something entertaining to do to keep your mind off the crummy feeling.
All you can do is alleviate symptoms, you can't get rid of the flu because it'll last as long as it lasts. Paracetamol brings temperature down as well as dealing with any pain, hot honey and lemon is soothing. Shit like that.
Actually with the flu all you can do is just sit it out. I usually take loads of painkillers when I have it though, because they really help me regulate my fever & basically numb my body from the pain so it makes the wait at least a bit more pleasant.
I would suggest just resting and not going outside, also drink water and eat some food. As far as medication take some Advil cold & sinus during the day, and NyQuil at night to help you sleep. I've had the flu for a week and I've slowly been feeling better
And if you want to give yourself a shot in the arm towards beating it... eat garlic cloves. Not joking. Take raw garlic cloves, peel them, cut them into little pieces, and swallow them with water.
the flu or the garlic? swallowing little pieces with water is the easy way, as opposed to chewing cloves like grapes, haha. and it'll make your farts smell like an italian diner.
fresh ginger tea is awesome! Get ginger at the produce section of the store (stuff is cheap), cut off a half inch piece of it, cube it, put in water and microwave for 3mins.
Ginger is a natural decongestant, which will open your nose and make u feel oodles better. Also, ginger is also a natural antiseptic which will help kill the germs causing the sickness! :-D
