There is no cure for the flu. Flus are viral, so once you're infected, you have to wait for your body to fight off the virus for you to become well again. If you want to help your body along, get lots of sleep and drink lots of fluids. If you're tired, sleep. If you're hungry, eat. If you're too hot, cool down. If you're too cold, warm up. It's just symptom management. You'll be fine in a few days. If you find yourself coughing a lot, get a cough syrup with an expectorant in it; that'll suppress your cough reflex and break up the phlegm so when you really need to cough, it will be productive.
