things to do to help flu?

I have the flu, and1 know some things that will make me feel better?? My temp hasn't been normal since noon...it is 104.3 right now...help?!

Update:

Oh..it hasn't gotten below 102.1 in three hours...

Update 2:

I went an urgent care center this morning and tested negative for the flu but the test is only 80% accurate and the doctor said that I probably still had the flu...he could prescribed Tamiflu(sp?) but sometimes that causes people to be delirious.

    The best thing for flu is plenty of rest, lots of fluids and take paracetamol reguarly. There's nothing you can do to stop the aches or pains and you've just got to ride it through, I know I'm on the fourth day of having it! Get well soon!

    as a doctor i really dislike colleagues prescribing medicines like tamiflu...useless expensive placebo...tea,soup,vitamin c(research says it can shorten the flu for a day or so),control temperature and rest...why panic?test for flu?flu is common disease-no drastic measures to be taken bacause of it...you are second that ask question like this...relax...it will pass...
