Brief Answer:
Please see the detailed answer below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello! I have been through your question.
You should know that the flu is a viral situation that usually could last 3_4 days. During this time you should use ibuprofen or acetaminophen for fever,headache and body aches , antitussive sir for the cough, drink a lot of water and hot natural tea , saline solution for nasal discharge and take rest for some days.

If your flu symptoms last more than 4-5 days you should meet a doctor in order to exclude some complications and maybe to start antibiotic if needed.

Furthermore need to know how many days you have flu like symptoms ?
I hope my answer helps you. I wish you a quick recovery.
Regards.
