I swear by Therapy Flu from the store.
They are packets you mix with hot water and drink it. But you have to keep stirring it otherwise the medicine sinks to the bottom.
When I had to go to work and I was sick that made me feel good enough to make it through the day.

I'll say a prayer 🙏🏼✝️ for you sweetie❣️

molonski2 · Answer

Honestly the best way to get rid of it is sleep and hydration , and let it run its course.

BUT , ( there is always a but ) and assuming its the genuine flu not simply a cold , I used his following system when I was in my 20s , and it always worked pretty dam well.

1 x 25mg promethazine hydrochloride

1 x Real nite cold tablet with Pseudo

3 x Nips of Scotch Whiskey

1 x Wearing Thick heavy tracksuit

3 x Doonas on bed

- FLAKE out , waking up in a massive sweat , have a very hot shower..

Repeat / Repeat for quick transition. Although it worked for me , please do not try this at home hahahaha.

Did it now , I may not wake up !

Put either Cold medicine or mouthwash in your mouth for at least 10 minutes. Just hold it, you have to do it for at least 10 minutes. It will dissolve all the virus in your mouth. Because it either starts in your mouth. Or nose or your eyes

Or when you have a cup of coffee squeeze a l lemon in it It will do the same thing. But you need a few cups of coffee I'll just do both. It is the best way in a couple of Bear bare byar byre aspirin aspirin what ever it's called lol But out of all aspirin that works the best

FreyaRed · Answer

Zinc micro element pills, warm tea with honey and lime juice + warm bed. Lot of sleep and paracetamol helps sometimes but not always, ibuprofen helps as well. Zinc boosts your immune system and lowers risk of secondary infections after flu.
There is medicament family called virostatics or anti viral drugs. As example for Tamiflu you need a prescription and daily medical control if you take them. It's better just to sleep through 2-3 days than to risk severe side effects of this medication.

I hope you get soon better.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

You can see a physician and perhaps try Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate) but if you have already had your symptoms for a few days, you probably will not be able to do anything to hasten your recovery. All you can do is take medications to relieve your symptoms (such as an antihistamine for sinus congestion,) rest, keep up your fluid intake, and find a useful purpose for the time you will be out of commission.

Bricealan · Answer

@jennz6 My wonderful 'friend" - Diane, helped me in Atlanta, when I was awful sick with Theraflu' and several other similar over-the-counter drugs that helped relieve the symptoms... I had to go to 'Urgent care' in Atlanta and then to my MD in California to get permanent relieve... Sorry you are sick, Sweetie' 😢😢😢😢

Screenwriter · Answer

Can't get rid of it once you have it. It's a virus and has to run its course in you. Use tylenol, aspirin or alleve to lower your fever, drink plenty of water or other fluids like IV Liquid, and get rest.

If you've had your flu shot, should be better in three days or so. If you haven't, look to be out of sorts for a week or so.

There might be something you can get from the doctor to shorten your ague. Call in to see if you can get a prescription.

OneViewpoint · Answer

There is no magic way to get rid of a virus faster once you are infected. The time to worry about it was before you became infected. There's an annual flu vaccine ya know. The best you can do at this point is wait 5 days and take a multi symptom cold and flu medicine. Chow down and stay hydrated.

AviatorTom · Answer

You can't get rid of the flu. You have to let it take its course, your immune system dealing with it, which should last between 7 and 10 days.

Drink plenty of fluids, water in particular. Stay away from coffee, tea and stimulants. Take ibuprofen (or equivalent) as needed, and get plenty of rest. Stay home... do not infect others.

Staximus · Answer

Get drunk if you haven't taken any medications. Honey, vitamin C, zinc, echinacea, ginseng, elderberry. If your nose is already stuffy then eat some hot soup with hot peppers in it and a bunch of crushed garlic. Crush the garlic and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before adding it.

Billlewis · Answer

Megadoses of vitamin C and B complex and lots of hot showers.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

Just the flu medicine, lots of sleep, and lots of fluids (water & soup) is the only way to get rid of it, unfortunately. I hope that you do not have the vomiting part of the flu at least, because that's the worst symptom.

exitseven · Answer

I think there is a medication that decreases the duration of the symptoms. You have to take it when you first get sick however. After that all you can do is take anti inflammatories, drink lots of water and get lots of rest.

FenixG45 · Answer

Actually, there is no cure, but rest, LOTS of clear fluids (not alcohol, tea, or coffee), avoiding sugar or chocolate, and take anti-pyretics for any fever, sweats, or chills are the best and fastest way to break a fever. If high fever lasts longer than 2 days, go to hospital. Most flus run their course from two days to two weeks. Covid-19 was a strong flu that sometimes had long-term effects. The shot didn't do sh! t!
