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.

One of the best things I found for a bad sore throat is to sip cherry brandy, and it tastes nice!!
Get well soon.

Hot toddies are the best thing for a cold. If you have access to a sauna go and sweat your brains out. Just do not drink the toddies in the sauna.

Hope you feel better soon.

Today I woke and was feeling quite well. So it have been about 2½ days with fever and a body that feels like it have been at some party that I'm not aware of.

Maybe the fever is gone etc. I know that it can come back without any warning if I ignore the signal from the body.

Might as well take an extra day or two off just to make sure you are better.

That is a good excuse for lots more toddies.
