Oh  Thats too bad..
I have no more advice than the typical grandmother one: Eat a lot of chicken soup.
Hope you get well soon! Best of luck! |

| Drink fluids, get enough sleep every night and get flu vaccinations if you haven't already. |

Drink lots of fluids, get lots of rest, and don't forget to eat well, even though you may have no appetite. Take your favorite fever-reducer (children's Motrin is absolutely delicious, though you might need to eat a lot of if given you're not a child  ) and basically take a break from life. |

The last one is a tad tricky since we don't have them here in Korea as far as I'm aware. Also I'm allergic to a lot of medicines so I don't want to risk relying on drugs. I do need way more sleep though; four-five hours isn't cutting it during Winter. |

| Take some multivitamins. They do wonders. |

Four/five hours isn't close to what you need.
Last time I had the flu I found myself in bed for ten+ hours a day.
And I'm surprised Korea doesn't have flu vaccinations...not that they're going to help you since you already have the flu. |

I haven't taken multivitamins and I haven't been sick since either.
Anecdotal evidence from one source means nothing.
That being said, you should definitely take some vitamins. |

| Sounds like it sucks for you then. Without OTC remedies or medicine of any kind you can't exactly just will a cold away. Learn korean. |

I thought this thread was going to be about relationships
Anyways, the best advice I can give is to sleep A LOT That can cure pretty much anything. |

[EDIT] I forgot to add - drugs are out of the question since I don't speak enough Korean to communicate my allergies to the pharmacy. Also I don't have access to recognizable over the counter brands. Sadly rest is also not an option due to my job. (But the weekend approaches!)
How are ingredients listed on OTC medications in korea? I'd presume they use english for chemical names and stuff, so you could look for something with dextromethorphan for coughing, and diphenhydramine for sneezing. |

Drink tea+honey, eat soup; take vit C, vitamins in general; eat raw garlic, ginger. Oregano oil can help with some of the symptoms like coughing, runny nose.
 You will smell, unfortunately |

1. Vinegar (solutions in water or used to flavor your soup) can help soothe some symptoms.
2. Exercise if you can. It boosts your immune system, but be careful about your sweat. >_> |
