Steam or humidity is good. So is a good hot bath. I guess you can't take theraflu....too bad it works wonders for me.
Here are some things to remember....drink plenty of fluids...force it if you have to. DO NOT DRINK MILK OR ANY DAIRY PRODUCT! It increases mucus.
Get it out of you! Continue to hack it up and spit it out. Blow your noise and get rid of the tissues afterwards. Rid the body off the stuff it uses to flush out the virus.
The old addage "Feed a cold and Starve a feever" is correct. If you have a tempeture eating can fuel the fever. You do need to keep up your strength so the chicken soup is a good idea and perfect for maintaining yourself while sick. Just don't over do it. Your stomach will not like too much.
Sleep..and lot's of it. Your body has many different ways to overcome illness...sleeping allows them to do their work and sleep good sleep is needed any way.
Sometimes when I have the flu and I just can't handle it....I have noticed when I get nauseous...allow yourself to.....barf. Yes let it happen. It is a good thing. It doesn't feel good...but trust me, it helps.
