Hello lybrate-user, flu is essentially a viral infection. It's symptoms can be of a large spectrum. Starting from running nose, cough, fever, general body ache, lethargy, retro orbital pain to altered sensorium in extreme conditions. Doctors cannot cure it in a jiffy as virus unlike bacteria have the ability to mutate within the body. Hence a definite antiviral therapy is very rare. The only way to cure it is to boost up the immunity with lots of hydration (that is drinking loads of water) and paracetamol in case of bouts of fever. The prevention is on the same lines. You need to maintain your immunity, by eating healthy, drinking a lot of fluids which hydrates your cells and avoid physical contact with people under infection because viral infections are highly, highly contagious. Hope this serves you good.
