- take an expectorant containing guiaphenesian, this will break up the muck in your chest and help you cough it up - Robitussin or a generic, 400mg every 4 hours
- take a simple pain releiver like Advil to help the fever and aches and pains and headache
- stay in bed, or rest inside in a warm room
- See your PCP..... most bronchitis is viral and doesnt need antibiotics, but sometimes it does, a check with your doctor would be worth while.
- Take some extra vitamin c, eat whatever you can, and if you cant eat, have sugary drinks to provide some energy.... and keep your fluid intake up
Its natural to feel flat and have no energy when you have 'flu, thats what differentiates influenza from a cold, give it time for your body to recover before doing anything strenuous
