Answers:

If you have a virus of any sort, antibiotics are not effective against it. Your own immune system must fight it off. Antibiotics only help bolster the immune system and help prevent an oportunistic infection from taking advantage of the situation. There is no magic cure for the flu. There is only time, rest, fluids and whatever nutritional food you can get inside you. If you are blowing your innards to the point dehydration becomes a hazard, there are medications to stop it- but still nothing for the flu. Sorry. For the woggy stomach, sip flat ginger ale or nibble on candied ginger. Drink whatever fluid you like, but stay away from dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt, and no alcohol. So far as eating, just about anything you might like, although fatty fried stuff won't stick with you well. Most folks have a preference for broth and broth based soups, crackers and noodles. You are usually sick for about a week before you start to feel better, feeling the worst between days 3 and 5. Life begins to return again around day 7, when you are tired and rung out, but not as ill as before. Until then, you just have to hang in there.
