  Having the flu is a nightmare. I would think the only thing that'll help is rest and my mother's recipe for chicken soup, which I've never managed to make as good as she made it.

  This won't help you right now, but think about taking echinacea supplements.  They help to boost your immune system and I swear that they've helped to keep me a lot more healthy than I was last winter (especially since we've had a ridiculously mild winter in southcentral Ontario so none of the bugs were frozen dead).  I take one caplet a day and when I start to feel rough I up it to 3 a day, though this many can only be taken for a few weeks at most.  It's not a miracle cure-all but it helps to lessen the symptoms.
   
  Hope that helps!
