Poor thing....(I'm serious with that, by the way -- the flu sucks.)

I'd listen to your body; if you're tired and feel like sleeping, go ahead and sleep -- your body probably needs the rest. As for eating; I'd try to get SOMETHING with some calories into you, but don't push it if you really don't feel like eating; maybe just some chicken broth (which will also help your throat feel better). My mom also made Jell-o when we were sick, and a little of that also soothed our throats too.

If you really, really feel like something's seriously wrong, call your doctor, but if you just feel generally crappy, stay home and take it easy. Sleep when you feel like it, lay around on the couch, zone out on silly TV shows, don't worry about doing anything taxing. You'll feel better in a few days.

Take a hot, soaking bath, take some aspirin or tylenol , gargle with salt water, and drink plenty of fluids. Go to bed.

oldest remedy

chicken noodle soup :)

the hot liquids actually help

Rest, relax, and enjoy your favorite show on T.V. ;)

im sorry ur sick. i just got over a sickness. what u need to do is drink a lot of fluids to flush out the bacteria and eat a lot to help feel better. get at least 10 hours of sleep at night and some hours of sleep during the day. Take a hot shower to wake u up and help u feel warm. Take a medication if u still have the flu for another week, go to the doctor to get a prescription.
hope this helped :)

also, I know food sounds nasty but u should really eat to help u get better quicker. Try some toast and ginger ale.
get well soon!!

I felt that way last week but drank plenty of fluids and took Nyqil...I feel okay this week.

Rest, lots of rest; Drink, lots of fluids; and try to eat so that you keep your body "fuel" up so that your system can fight off the virus. Take Musinex, my doctor informed me that this flu going around has a lasting effect. You will need to keep your lungs clear so that it won't develop into pneumonia.

take a really hot bath and take so cold medico and drink some hot water for Ur throat
