Symptoms of the flu? Get better fast?

I've been sick for three days and I don't know what it is, but I've already missed two days of school and I need to get better fast. I've had the chills, body aches, naseua, headaches, and lightheaded ness. I've broken my fever a few times it'll go from like 101 down to 99.6 or something and then it'll go back up. I can't stand up for too long cuz I'm so lightheaded and that's the only thing that's keeping me from getting back to school. Advice on how to get better fast? Thanks

    You need to make sure that you are only drinking water. Anything that has sugar in it is going to be feeding the infection that you have. Water is going to flush all the bad toxins out.

    Make sure that you are sleeping a lot more that you normally do. When you sleep it gives your body more time to "repair" itself.

    For your body aches you need to take Ibuprofen or Acteminopfen, this will also bring down your temperture. For your nausea try eating Saltine crackers or bread, this is going to absorb whatever is making you nauseaed.

    Make sure that you are eating healthy as well. Excerise also will make you feel a lot better. I kow that you prob have no motivation to do anything, but itll help you sweat out your temp.

    Garlic is also really good to take when you are sick. Garlic helps prevent infection and help get tid of infection. Try taking garlic pills or just adding it to anything that you eat
