Well this is from my own experience...
first, one thing is to sweat it out. I know it sounds crazy but that's one way of breaking a fever if you have one.
Try not to keep any flu-like fluids that come from your body. Like if your nose is running or if you're coughing up flem or muccus... that's the yucky stuff your trying to keep out of your body so get rid of it when you need to.
Make sure your drink plenty of fluids such as OJ and water to keep youre energy up and also to hydrate the body. Try not eat heavy foods. Go light with whatever you eat. Cause like with many people who have the flu, you're gonna end up vomitting it up anyway. Try drinking tea with the flavor (peppermint or ginger, etc.) of your choice which also helps to soothe the stomache in between the vomitting. As a little side note if you have some liquor or lemon juice in your cabinet, adding about a 1/4 cup to your tea will kick it into high hear
If you have a throbbing headache and achey body, try taking at least one of the optional: an Aspirin/Tylenol/Benedryl etc. depending on what you can take and what's right for your body.
Always try to keep the germs to a minimun. Making sure you wash your hands and if your in the bed/sofa most of the day sanitize your area every once in a while. The quicker you get rid of the cold the better.
hope this helps.

If it's truly the flu which usually is seen between October and March, you need to get tested within 48 hrs of symptoms. If you do this, they can give you tamiflu which will shorten the course of the flu and decrease the severity. Hope this helps.

You seriously need to lay down and sleep and drink fluids and eat soup. That is seriously the fastest way. If you keep doing the things you do everyday and ware yourself out, you can actually make it worse. Call in sick and rest! There is no way though you can have it gone tomorrow, but if you take care of it with rest by tomorrow, you may feel a little better.

SLEEP!!! Drink lots of water, take some tylenol and pepto bismol, and SLEEP! Nothing will cure it like a good night's rest.
