When the virus finds a way into your body, it&rsquo;s only a matter of time before you start to notice the symptoms. \u00a0You might feel tired and weak, and experience headaches, sore throat, cough, body aches and pains. Chills and a fever are other tell-tale signs that you&rsquo;ve caught the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/flu\/about\/disease\/complications.htm\">influenza virus<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&rsquo;re sick, the only medications that will actually treat your illness are\u00a0antiviral medications. \u00a0These work best when started within 2 days of the start of symptoms, reducing the severity and duration of illness. But they are only available through prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are some at-home and over-the-counter treatments that can help to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/cold-and-flu\/features\/treating-flu-at-home\">relieve the symptoms<\/a> that are associated with the flu, while <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/cold-and-flu\/features\/the-truth-behind-moms-cold-and-flu-advice\">others may be less helpful<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how can you know which treatments work and which ones don&rsquo;t? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we take a look at both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/cold-and-flu\/flu-guide\/home-remedies-for-fast-flu-relief\">natural remedies <\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/cold-and-flu\/flu-guide\/flu-medications\">medical treatments<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0that can help you return to normal\u2014as well as the flu treatments you needn&rsquo;t bother with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Do: Have Some Chicken Soup (But Mostly, Stay Hydrated)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5211 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/joinastudy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/HowToTreatFlu_2-300x209.jpg\" alt=\"Treat the Flu\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joinastudy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/HowToTreatFlu_2-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/joinastudy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/HowToTreatFlu_2.jpg 352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For decades, getting the flu has been a license to eat chicken soup.
