I got the flu today (sucks to be me), has anyone got any good treatment ideas?

I have work tomorow :( I really need to get better :P i have a blocked nose, my eyes burn, my throat burns and my head feels awful! lol Any one found a cure for the common cold? I'd love you forever!

Believe it or not, one of the best ways to treat your symptoms and help get over the flu as quickly as possible is an old wives tale that actually works. Chicken soup, the tried and true remedy used by grandmothers the world over, actually contains substances that can ease the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. Step2First thing, call in sick. No point going to the office and getting everyone else sick. Plus if you are like me, you are stupid when you are sick. My brain does not work, I am useless.

Stay in bed. Either sleep lots, or set up a tv so you can lie under 5 covers and just sweat it out. Also be sure to drink lots of fluids like water, and ginger ale.
Step3 When I had the flu, I really wasn't hungry, but I was thirsty. So make sure you stay under the covers and sweat. The whole way to get rid of the flu is to sweat it out. Get lots of sleep, wear flannel pjs and stay in bed.
Step4 If you try cleaning, or walking around, or anything you are doing more damage. Your body is fighting off the flu, help it by staying in bed with lots of covers on you and sweat it out. If you follow my instructions, in three days, you'll be fine. That's how long it took with me. I stayed home 3 days, to really get the flu out my system, and than I went to work. I still had a head-cold for a week, but the flu was gone.

When I had the flu I use thera flu and echinea and golden seal put in one capsule in the beginning you take 5 pills 3x a day and in 3 days drop to 4 then 3days drop to 3.
and if you can't get to the doctor that garlic is acts like penicillin
Hope this helps
