Question: I have been to my doctor and was diagnosed with the flue It has been a couple of days now and it does not pass
Answer: Hi 

What are your symptoms presently 

Usually flu is caused by a virus and tends to clear on its own within a week or thereabout when the immune system is active 
However to hasten the time in which the body clears it I advise you get some rest drink a lot of warm fluids especially tea with lemon honey and ginger or its variants Also you can treat symptomatically ie get some cough syrup for the cough and antihistamines for the catarrh lozenges for the scratchy throat or pain reliever for the headache etc 

I wish you speedy recovery Cheers
