Aches and pains r: To be expected with any flu.Continue with small frequent sips of gatoraid.When hungry,try a little baked potato,toast, crackers,white rice. For aches,pain,fever use Tylenol (acetaminophen).

Agree w Dr. Romans: Muscular aches and pains are normal with this type of viral infection. Start w clear liquid like water, soda that is clear, or sports hydration drinks. Sip, sip, sip. Work up to solids w bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, gelatin, or chicken. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, dairy & high fat foods. Rest.
