What to do if i have the flu, i take a multivitamin daily. can that help speed up the recovery process?

Not likely: If you have the flu, a multivitamin that you take daily will not be very likely to make it go away faster. But the fact that you have been taking it for all this time, may make your immune system stronger and help you get over it faster. So its not a help in the moment, but it is a help over the long term.
