Drink Bourbon. That cures everything... except for a vicious tongue bite.

This.

Especially for sore throat.

Mix bourbon with honey and a peppermint and melt it all down...homemade cough syrup.

Do you have a fever?
Have you had symptoms for less than two days?

If you answered yes to the first question, then you probably have the flu. If you answered yes to the second, you have time to use Tamiflu. It will dramatically reduce your down time.

If it's been more than two days since you noticed symptoms, then you're going to be laid up for quite a while. Rest, lots of liquids and patience are about all you can do.

Alcohol won't help if you really have the flu. The flu has been bad this year. I would just bite the bullet and go to the doctor.

3 bottles of NyQuil and when you wake up 3 more. Repeat until you feel normal or get a hangover whichever comes 1st

My cocktails for those days. A couple of hours between each stage

I start the day with an emergen-C followed by day quil.

About an hour later I do an alkaseltzer followed by the bourbon and honey mixture.

Tamiflu

Alkaseltzer.

DayQuil and bourbon mix

Tamiflu

Alkaseltzer and NyQuil.

I'm sure the surgeon general doesn't appreciate that but I've beaten the flu keeping me down with that mixture numerous times.

Today's my eighth day since symptoms began. Aches, fever, & chills have subsided, but now I have bronchitis as a result of the flu. Coughing pretty much incessantly.

As someone else posted, get tamiflu if it's been no longer than 48 hours since onset of symptoms. If it's been longer than 2 days, get Alka-Seltzer Plus-D. It covers all flu symptoms & helped me the most. I had to get it from behind the counter at Walgreen's and show & scan ID, though. Frickin meth heads.

Now let that be a lesson to all of you no flu shot getting MFrs. But the only relief if you are not smart enough to go get the flu shot is whiskey and lots of it.

It's for the girlfriend who has been sick for 5 days. I've been rocking a surgeons mask and put her arse in quarantine since the onset. Granted I think I gave her the flu somehow because I was sick for a few days and then I got a little better and then she got really sick. I guess living in a fraternity house for 3 years gave me an iron man immune system

when i get sick i drink oj and i go to cvs and scoop up some over the counter shite that helps with fever and sore throat. Im rarely ever down for more than 2 days. Ill milk it for longer but I'm usually up and going after day 2.

I had the flu the week before Christmas and it sucked. I alternated Tylenol and Advil every 2 hours for the fever. Made a lemon, honey, tea and bourbon concoction for the aches and the cough. Lots of orange juice and water. And I ate whatever I thought sounded good. Which was orange sherbet. My sweetie brought it to me, and that's all I wanted for days. That and chicken soup.

i drink a half gallon of OJ right off the bat and take 5000 mg of chewable vitamin C / day for 2 days - followed by more OJ. Nyquil for sleeping and congestion.
