Supportive care: If you are sick with the flu, the best way to deal with it - supportive care - fluids, rest, analgesics, fever reducers, etc. Tamiflu, (oseltamivir) although, advertised, is not impressive in its action but can be taken as well.

Symptom relief: If you have the Flu hydrate well w water, herbal teas, soup or juice. Drink sufficiently to have pale to light yellow urine. You can use pain relievers like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAID’s. Rest A LOT! In some situations antiviral medications (Tamiflu, Relenza, Flumadine) may be prescribed within the first couple of days of symptoms to hasten healing or they can be used after flu exposure to prevent illness.
