Drink plenty of liquids and get plenty of rest. Don't do anything that isn't absolutely necessary, like practices for your performance. Stay home and sleep whenever you can.
Vitamin C and Zinc supplements help your immune system. Also, chicken soup or chicken broth.

Take cold-eeze (not sure of the exact spelling)
Take echinacea, vitamin c and vitamin B12.
Drink lots of fluid - preferably hot tea with honey and lemon.
Get lots of rest. Soak in a warm bath with epson salts. Keep your diet simple - a piece of wheat toast with butter, clear chicken broth - nothing too hard to digest.
If it really is the "flu" and not just a cold, go to the doctor who can prescribe Tamaflu. If taken within something like 48 hours it can cut down on the time significantly.
Hope you get to feeling better soon!

4 days is usually enough time. Just make sure you use that 4 days, or else you'll end up feeling even more miserable.
Drink lots of water: The fever is probably dehydrating you. Drink hot tea, hot lemon and honey, and hot bouillon to help hydrate you and sooth your aches. If your tummy is uneasy, sip ginger tea, ginger ale, or even Coke Classic. Eat chicken soup: There's a reason so many grandmothers like to use it to treat ailments.
Wash your hands frequently so you won't reinfect yourself or infect anyone else. And above all, sleep so your body can concentrate on healing.
Feel better.

the best way to get over the flu is to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids. This means no work or school or household chores. Things like zinc, ecinecea and vitamin C can help but are better for preventing illness. My favorite remedy is fresh garlic. I don't know why it works but in my experience it does.
There is also prescription antiviral medication available. You should see your doctor

First of all get plenty of rest. If you have a fever try and sweat it out. The best way to do that is take a really hot shower and get dressed immediately afterwards. Wear a sweater, sweat pants, and socks and cover up with heavy blankets and if you start sweating and get really hot don't take the covers off!
Take Vitamin C- Ester-C is the best cause it's stomach friendly
Make yourself some homemade vegetable soup with fresh garlic, oregano, ginger.
Drink some hot tea's
