My friend recently got the flu for the past week. he told me that his body is in pain, especially his kidneys when he coughs. what should we do?

Go to the Doctor: It is not flu season in the U.S. I am sorry, but he has something else and with his symptoms he needs medical attention urgently. He does not have the flu.
