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, Advil) or Tylenol (acetaminophen) are also recommended every 6 hours. If concerned, see your PCP for examination.

Sure: Warm salt water rinses (1 tsp/8oz ) 4-5 times/day. Ibuprofen or alleve. Gargle with the salt water to help throat. Plenty of fluids. Plenty of rest. Possibly some afrin nasal spray for 2-3 days as needed. Then get to the Doctor. Good Luck.
