I'm starting to see some of the tell tale signs of the flu. My throat feels a bit raspy and there's a lot of sick folk at school. How can I fight this flu before it gets me full on?p.s. I dont wanna use medicine, it just makes u feel comfortable, it doesn't actually help ur body kick out the flu.medicine=no runny nose and sleepy sleepyi want some remedys and ways to get rid of the flu is wat i meant.medicine=no runny nose and sleepy sleepyi want some remedys and ways to get rid of the flu is wat i meant.

I think one way is if you feel the sniffles, cough coming up just start taking motrin or nyquil at night and you'll be fine.

Take Echinacea and keep your immune system strong by getting proper rest and diet.

Take vitamin C! Get a bottle of vitamin C capsules at walmart, they're pretty cheap and they will really help a flu or a cold, especially if you take them before it gets really bad. And wash your hands excessively since it's going around your school.

Drink copius amounts of water. ALWAYS. Water helps flush any bugs in your lymphatic system. When you feel the full blow of being sick, stay active. Staying active helps your body drain your lymph nodes. Water and activity. Which is why most americans stay sick, because they rest and feel sorry for themselves.good luck
