First of all, don't take showers, that could kill you.

Bed rest is what you're going to need, try to avoid straining yourself in any form. Get some water, some good films and provisions like that and let your body fight off your symptoms - don't try and brave through flu, because you'll make yourself worse.

As for medications, I'm not sure what you should take nor what you have access to, so I'm not much help there :P

Get well soon though! Rest rest rest!

Lots of water. Lots of urination. Lots of rest. Lots of sleep. Lots of patience.

No meds, no 'cures', none of that crap. The body was made to heal on its own.

you need a whole lot of fluid. i just got over the flu. water, ice chips, diluted gatorade if you can. plain foods like bananas, toast, rice etc. and more than anything rest.

Some H2O, sleep, movies and games usually do the trick.
