You're doing all the right things. It might be just a cold and you might still be able to get the flu shot and save yourself from more suffering this winter. I hate getting colds and the flu. Just keep resting. If you smoke, you have to quit. It lowers your immunity. The same with drinking.

Stay at home, preferably in bed, until the fever goes down. Drink lots of fluids. The aches and stuffed head are treatable with various over-the-counter medications. However the only real cure is time. Don't go back to work or to school until at least one day after the fever goes away, or else you'll just relapse and it'll be worse.

Try Thera Flu, it'll help heal you faster then any other remedy.
Good Luck!! To bad you didn't get the flu shot before you got sick.
It'll help from really getting it bad. I got mime 2 weeks ago, I need to cause I have Asthma.

I've always heard you can take cold meds for 14 days or grin and bear it for 2 weeks. One works just as well as the other!

Thera-flu. I use the lemon flavored in a cup of hot tea. It does wonders.

my mother used to make me sleep under lots of blankets and take really hot baths so i could "sweat out the virus" i think it may be an old wives tale, but you could try it
