Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Mgt: I would advise keeping well hydrated, checking your temperature and eating small portions. Sleep with more than one pillow, try Prilosec OTC as directed and avoid heavy meals/caffeine/alcohol. Please follow up with your physician if the symptoms worsen or persist. The flu can take a few weeks to resolve.
