Is there anything other than proper hydration that i can do to get over the flu more quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anti-flu drugs: If you really have the flu, anti-influenza drugs like tamiflu (oseltamivir) will shorten the duration if taken early enough. But there is currently no flu circulating (in the U.S.).
