You're right the body has to fight it by it self.

when I get that kind of flu, I always get it in the late afternoon. I then imediately try all I can to artificially drive up my temperature and to sweat as much as I can. The first night usually is very nasty, also includes ague (Schüttelfrost). But often I already fully recover over the next day. Without Ascorbic Acid I take three times as long, though. I easily consume 5-6 tea spoons over the day without needing to visit the toilet. When I am healthy, I can take just the small tip of a knife at max. Obviosuly, that stuff gets used somehow. It does not kill bugs, but it seems to load up the stockpile of ammo for the immune system. Proxy war, so to speak.

Stay hot, rest, sweat, drink a lot of hot citron tea. That's the best.
