Answers:
unfortunately flu's are viral and take about 7-14 days to run their course. there is no cure for the flu-just treatment. main reason for this is b/c virus mutate (change) as they pass from person to person so something that might work for one person won't work for the next b/c the virus has changed and is now immune to that cure..

even with treating your symptoms-you're still going to by highly contagious to anyone you come in contact with. the flu is contracted through the air which means when you cough,sneeze, talk to, or even breathe into the air around someone-small,microscopic droplets travel throught the air and are breathed in by other people, getting them sick..

to treat the symptoms:
-main thing to remember is to drink LOTS of fluids-the flu can dehydrate you quickly, making you sicker longer. water and gatorade work best but things like sprite,7up,or ginger ale would work too. avoid other sodas or juice-these have high sugar content and will dehydrate you more than restore fluid
-take ibuprofen for body aches and fever (if present). take 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours
-you can eat saltines to help with any nausea
-if you are having nausea, other than the saltines-avoid any solid food-stick to clear liquids. soup broth, jello, italian ice,and water

i know this isn't what you want to hear-but you're better off staying home and getting better. in addition to putting other people at risk for getting sick, you're immune system is currently weaker than normal, which means if you come into contact with other germs, you could get sicker.

stay home,rest, drink lots of fluid and you'll soon feel better!!

flue runs its course- sorry
The only cure is time, my friend. Eat right, get plenty of rest, and stay dressed for the weather the proper way and you can prevent this from happening. Take plenty of Vitamin C. It protects you from viruses and germs. Don't be silly. If you want a home remedy that I have used before, drink half a glass of Wild Turkey with 1/3 tobasco,1/3 water and a squeeze of lemon juice and you will sweat that **** out quick. But I warn you that you will be sweating profusely, so drink plenty of water so you dont dehydrate yourself. You are going to feel like your body is on fire, but thats just the whiskey and hot sauce coming out in your sweat. Be careful, but it may take 8-10 hours to work.
