Flu causes and remedies 

Excessive body heat means you have a fever and excessive body coldness would be translated as chills. If you are swinging between the two at any point in time, you are probably suffering from the flu. In this case, you would need to keep your body warm at all times, even when you are feeling hot with fever. The aim of this exercise is to break the fever and make you sweat, thereby regulating your body temperature. The general rule for treating flu simply is to drink plenty of hot fluids and wear several layers of warm clothing and most importantly, stay indoors.

You should drink a glass of hot milk with one teaspoon of turmeric powder added to it to fight the infection that affects your upper respiratory system when you have the flu. If you are feeling excessively warm, chances are you have a fever. Keep in mind that if any fever lasts for over week, it requires medical attention, even if it is infrequent. Drink substantial quantities of water to replace lost body fluids. Opt for easily digestible food like porridges and gruels and avoid spicy, rich food. It is also advisable to have fresh fruit juices as this will help tremendously.
