What do you all do to help yourself recover from an illness?

I had the flu (I think, though I wonder because no one else got it) for several days which started two weeks ago tomorrow. It really knocked me out. I have been up and about for over a week, but I am still so weak. Any walking is exhausting and I am incredibly tired. I still have a slight cough and my chest feels heavy. I am considering seeing a doctor but hate to spend the money and time.

So, I am wondering what I could be doing to give myself an extra boost besides the regular immunity stuff like Vitamin C. Any ideas?

generally a good multivitamin since you'll be depleted from not eating.. you may need things that are easier to digest for a bit still.. like chicken soup

And you need rest, your body heals best in sleep and so while you have fought off the infection (whatever it was) you still need to recover.

You need hydration.. you may be some dehydrated.

If it keeps up, a trip to the doctor is in order. You could have developed a case of pneumonia.
