Answer:
The best treatment for the common flu is to start the moment you feel the flu coming on. For the first day, rest, take vitamin C, zinc and an over the counter fever reducer (like aspirin or acetaminophen) every four hours to o maximum of four (4) zinc tablets in one day. If the flu has not gotten remarkably better the next day, repeat the dosages and timing for all.
By the third day you should be up and around and in the recovery phase. At which time you take Vitamin C and zinc twice a day (morning and night) until the symptoms are gone. Once the flu is gone stop taking the zinc.
To help build up your immune system it is advisable to eat well, exercise regularly, get enough sun light and in the flu season supplement your diet with extra vitamin C and echinacea. -Follow the instruction for taking echinacea.
