“What is the best way to treat the flu?”

Rest & drink plenty of fluids. Take tylenol Alternating with Motin for fever and body aches.

If you are generally healthy otherwise, the best way is to rest, remain hydrated, you can take honey and lemon warm water to soothe your throat, and may take some vitamin C and Zinc to boost your immune system. You need to monitor your symptoms closely, if you become short of breath or your fever doesnt go away, you need to seek medical attention urgently. Once you recovered ( 1-2 weeks), you can consider having your yearly influenza vaccination if not yet. Allow good fresh air flow in your room, and keep away from vulnerable people : the very young the very old and the very sick. Wish you recover soon.
