To alleviate flu symptoms and accelerate recovery, it is recommended to get ample rest, ensure sufficient fluid intake, and consume nourishing broths like chicken or beef soup. Supplementing with Vitamin C, drinking herbal teas such as echinacea, green tea, turmeric, ginger, or clove tea (preferably sweetened with honey), performing nasal irrigation with saline solution, using a humidifier, and inhaling steam can also be beneficial.
