Prayers sent brother. I hope the little one gets better soon, and I hope you & the rest of your family don't get sick. Drink plenty of OJ, and take multi-vitamins if you have them.

Prayers sent from my family to yours Shawn.
Wish you all a speedy recovery.

Here's some sure-fire home remedies:

Try These Home Remedies for Fast Flu Relief

Phil was dead-on-spot about the garlic, it helps decrease the growth of virus.
Zinc is good (like Cold-eeze lozenges), boost immune system right at beginning.
Vitamin C, whoo-hoo, boost immune system, increases white blood cells.

Google "Flu + tea" for simple recipes to treat many symtoms (similar ingredients as Phil suggested adding to soup).

CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). On their website:

• Warning! DO NOT give ASPIRIN (acetylsalicylic acid) to children or teenagers who have the flu; this can cause a rare but serious illness called Reye’s syndrome. For more information about Reye’s syndrome, visit the National Institute of Health website.
  * Check ingredient labels on over-the-counter cold and flu medications to see if they contain aspirin.
  * Teenagers with the flu can take medicines without aspirin, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®) and ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®, Nuprin®), to relieve symptoms.
  * Children younger than 4 years of age should not be given over-the-counter cold medications without first speaking with a healthcare provider.
  * The safest care for flu symptoms in children younger than 2 years of age is using a cool-mist humidifier and a suction bulb to help clear away mucus.
  * Fevers and aches can be treated with acetaminophen (Tylenol®) or ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®, Nuprin®) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
