Spicey food. Sweat that bad boy OUT!

I hear Zinc is good also, OJ, some hot soup broth...

A strong will to live also helps.

sadly not possible - my job involves seeing a lot of people

although that can combine with Smaug's suit 🙂

Actually, I've heard this works (although I never heard of the cloves part).

Honestly, if you start walking around with tissue boxes on your feet, you will have a much lower risk of seeing a lot of people, except for seeing them run quickly to avoid you like the plague (or flu) 😉

Loads of Vitamin C (2000 mg per day) and Zinc. That always works for me.

Maybe some cherries would help?

Some random dutch site tell me the recommended daily amount of Vitamin C for women (and men) aged 19-50 is 70mg. When you smoke you should take some more.

(Almost) All the extra you take will leave your body as fast as it got in.

To avoid the flu, stay away from anyone who has it or who has a cold. don'y go anywhere near someone who has it. Wash your hands often, especially after handling money, turning doornobs, shaking hands, and things like that. Get an annual flu shot.

I suppose I'd start by investing in several varieties of lubricant and perhaps some sented massage oils.

One of the most difficult-to-apply flu therapies around, to be sure. First of all there's the lack of energy, and second of all if you're on analgesics it feels like you're trying to chafe a dead eel back to life.
