I don't think it's the swine flu, but then again people in some of my classes had gotten it, so I dunno.
Anyone have some tried-and-true flu symptom remedies? I might not be able to stave it off, but at least I can cut down on the coughing, headaches, and chills. :o

Quarantine yourself to prevent spreading it to your friends and family. Take some Nyquil before bed and sleep for at least 8 hours. Drink lots of water.

dude, DUDE, it's an EPIDEMIC. make sure it's not swine flu unless you want to bleed our your eyes or something.

here's some tips for your flu:
-rest
-fluids
-foods

pretty much eat drink and sleep and you should be fine. tried and tested.

I'd check with your doctor first, to make certain it IS the flu and not some other ailment with similar symptoms. Then...
What climbtree said. Rest, food- chicken soup and lots of vitamin c. Slightly warm saltwater for sore throat- I find adding cloves helps numb the pain. Just 15 seconds in the microwave, and a "pinch:" of salt. Not REALLY salty- that just dries out your throat.
Oh, and drink HOT/warm liquids, not cold ones- My doc says(and personal experience shows) that cold ones, even though they may numb the pain, actually make sore throats worse.

Everyone has the right to be himself; wise men know how to,when, and whether to navigate the boundary between their rights and those of others when they collide.

honey, preferably honey in chamomile and mint tea is the best thing for a sore throat.

it is when you have to work for hours on end on stupid design shit. I don't know if I had swine flu or flu flu tho because going to the doctor would have meant walking or riding bike there
