Flu: You can have a bad taste with the flu and the best way to make your mouth feel better is good brushing and flossing. Mouthwash may help your mouth feel better. It will not make the flu go away any faster.

Seasonal flu: is very common viral infection. Usually the condition resolves on its own with home care. Drink water and get a good rest. NSAIDs (e.g. Aleve) are also recommended every 6 hours. If concerned, see your PCP for reevaluation.
