Welcome to ChatDoctorI have carefully read and understood you query hope you will find this usefulInfluenza is a viral infection that attacks your respiratory system i.e. your nose, throat and lungs. Though it may resolve on its own but the symptoms and sometimes complications may be very bothersome. The best is to take plenty of fluids. Take an NSAID like paracetamol or ibuprofen for sore throat that will settle pain and fever. Do salt water gargles every day.Don't use mouth washes for gargles. Sometimes we do prescribe an anti-viral like oseltamivir as oral medication which will cut course of the medication. Get more sleep to help your immune system fight infection. Do see your doctor before starting any antiviral. I will be happy to know if you have found answer to your queryThank you Chat Doctor.
