if its the flu,,,, your fucked mate!

just take paracetamol (of cause dont overdose yourself) dont bother with cold and flu pills as all they are is paracetamol mixed with caffeine for a temporary feeling of good health!

rest up dude

Keep blowing your nose...

Keep having hot drinks like hot black current etc..
no cold drinks...

Have a piping hot bath..

and eat as much as you can...

Bottle of orange lucozade! Possibly the only thing you can drink in your condition without a furry aftertaste
