See below: Type a influenza can be shortened by using certain drugs but it must be started as soon as possible. There is no drug for type b flu. If you think you have the flu get to doctor right away to be tested for type a flu. It is always wise to get the flu shot every year.

No cure: If you have the flu hydrate well w water, herbal teas, soup or juice. Drink sufficiently to have pale to light yellow urine. You can use pain relievers like tylenol (acetaminophen) or nsaid’s. Rest a lot! in some situations antiviral medications (tamiflu, relenza, flumadine) may be prescribed within the first couple of days of symptoms to hasten healing or they can be used after flu exposure to prevent illness.
