The flu usually resolves within a week without medical treatment.
High fever, usually a dry cough, headache, muscle, and joint pains, sore throat, runny nose or nasal congestion, severe weakness, fatigue, tremor, and sometimes diarrhea and vomiting can be relieved by herbal supplements. Yeditepe University Kozyatağı Hospital Nutrition Dietetics and Phytotherapy Specialist explained the ways to get rid of the flu with herbal supplements:
It is very important not to trigger reflux in order not to increase the existing cough. Therefore, it is necessary to go to bed with at least three hours of hunger at night, to use a slightly upright pillow, and not to consume foods that will trigger reflux, such as tea-coffee-chocolate.
Elderflower: Reduces the effectiveness of the virus. As it is consumed as a tea, it is also possible to find syrup, tablets, or effervescent forms in pharmacies.
Echinacea: Studies have shown that its components that are good for the upper respiratory tract are more effective when consumed in the form of liquid, i.e., syrup, rather than tea.
