1st of all, viral flu has no cure, antivirals are not effective atall, because the virus is highly mutant, it changes its content very fast and that way antivirals are unable to stop them.
Vitamin C can elevate your body resistance since the immune system of the human body is able to kill and fight back the virus, but there are controversies about taking Vitamin C during the attack, many doctors think it can worsen the case unlike what many people think, so mostly take Vitamin C as a protective agent during the seasons of attacks of flu.
All the other treatments mentioned are just symptomatic treatments, they don't kill the virus, they just reduce the symptoms like nasal discharge and congestion and headache, you can use them, but be sure that this doesn't kill the virus.
Now for the best treatment, it's bed rest and fluids and balanced diet, that's the #1 treatment for flu, bed rest give your body a chance to fight the virus , kill it and get rid of it.

Go to the health food store and get Oscillocosonum, or Alpha CF. All the drugstore remedies fight the symptoms but do nothing to fight the cold. If it's a bad one, put a teaspoon of Vicks into a bowl of boiling water, cover your head with a towel and lean over the bowl, inhaling the vapors. It'll give you a lot of relief. And drink lots of liquids, especially tea.
