What really works when you have a flu/cold?!

I came down with a flu/cold!. I have a sore throat as well!.

I been drinking a lot of fluids - water and tea mostly - and been trying to get plenty of rest!.

What else works!?

A friend of mine told me to cut up a clove of garlic and swallow it with a glass of water!. She swears it works!. I tried it a bit earlier!.

I do not believe in medicine unless I have a virus or something that requires it!.

Thanks for your suggestions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
