Favorite flu remedies - other than shots?

[Dina Lerret]

It was suggested I try four of the fizzy Alka Seltzers in a quarter to
half cup of water.  Anybody try this before?  I may try it.  Anything
else?

I've been: get ready for work, get to work, try to do *something* but
mostly I'm too dazed and dealing with runny nose all day, almost
coughing up a lung, and body hurts.  By the time I get back home, I
have a fever and in bed all evening to break the fever just to repeat
the same symptoms all over.

Day five is really sucking, so my immune system needs more help.
