Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have flu symptoms which are pointing towards upper respiratory tract infection leading to common cold, which can be caused by bacterial or viral infection. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order test like viral culture test, throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial amoxicillin or anti-viral acyclovir depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants. You should take steam inhalation along with vaporizers. Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food. . For now continue doing gargles and Chat Doctor. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
