Flu is caused by virus. Initial treatment is rest and symptomatic treatment.
You can take warm fluids like lemon tea , warm chicken soup with pepper , vitamin C and throat lozenges in case of throat irritation.
You can also take paracetamol if fever and body pain is there. Nasal decongestants and antihistamines can be taken also. These are usually available as over the counter in brands like tylenol cold.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
