A member asked:

20 year old with flu! help! what to take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flu and treatment: First make sure it is only the flu. See your doctor. If you are sure it is only the flu, drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest. Warm saline gargles help as do drinking soup with chiken broth.
