Although there is a detailed article has been published recently by WebMD to tackle the flu symptoms. In a recent search for home remedies and natural treatments WebMD approached Charles B. Inlander, president of The People's Medical Society, to get some effective home remedies that may relieve your symptoms so you feel better.

Blow your nose frequently. It is advisable to blow your nose often when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head. GENTLY blow your nose to avoid blasting infected secretions deeper into your sinuses and Eustachian tubes. Just wipe your nose gently. Press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently to clear the other. Wash your hands after blowing your nose. If you blow hard, pressure can cause an earache.

Take complete rest. Resting helps your body to direct its immune system to fight flu. Stay lying down under a blanket. No.

Gargling with saline water solution can moisten your soaring throat and bring temporary relief. Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in warm water, four times a day or more frequently as every two hours.

To reduce the tickle in your throat, try an astringent gargle -- such as tea that contains tannin -- to tighten the membranes.

Drink a lot of hot Liquids.

A steamy moisturize your nasal passages and relax you.

A small dab of Menthol, eucalyptus or camphor salve under your nose can open breathing passages.

Apply Hot or Cold Packs Around Your Congested Sinuses.

Sleep With an Extra Pillow Under Your Head

Don't Fly Unless Necessary. If you must need to fly, use a decongestant and carry a nasal spray with you to use just before takeoff and landing.

Chewing gum and swallowing frequently can also help relieve pressure.
