I have for years had what I have found the quickest cure for the flu, bad colds as well.

Get into the tub, have the water as hot as you can stand it. I mean boil.
I like it in our whirlpool tub.

Have a cup of hot tea, a bowl of soup something hot to drink / eat while you are in there.
Stay in as long as you can, but do be careful.

Get out, dry off.

Get dressed, best is underwear (shorts and shirt) and a sweat suit.
Dress warm.

Take a good shot of Nyquil.
Get right into bed with an extra blanket
Sometimes I put the heating pad in too, just for a short while.

You wake up drenched, and feeling better.

For a bad one might take 2 nights.

Basically sweat it out.

You may not be ready to go back to work, but won't feel like you want to die.

Oh and plan on changing the bed after a day.
