Keep warm, bed rest, lots of liquids plus Jewish penicillin (chicken soup)

Hope you feel better soon

Tamiflu, if you've caught it early enough. Good luck and hope you still have a happy Christmas.

Are you sure it's flu, and not Covid? Either way, you should keep well away from others and mask-up with a respirator if you can't, and ventilate the rooms you're in.

If you're in the UK and you test positive for Covid, if you're within 5 days of your symptoms starting, you might be able to get treatment that will help get you back on your feet much sooner.

I hope it doesn't spoil your Christmas.

Hello CLLpa

Sorry to hear about your flu right at Christmas time. Best I can do is wish you and everyone else a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Blessings.
