Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

Your symptoms are suggestive of flu. Another possibilty is Viral infection called hand foot and mouth disease that can cause symltoms of flu along with blisters on hand and mouth(sore tongue).
The viral infections will subside on its own and only need supportive care.
Drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated. Drinks like Gatorade can replenish lost electrolytes.
Avoid smoking, alcohol and spicy food
Follow bland diet including rice,banana,toast and Apple Sauce
You can take over the counter Allegra D to relieve stuffiness
Use saline nasal drops and steam inhalation thrice daily
You can take buscopan 10 mg thrice daily to relieve the stomach pain.

If you notice white bulls up on the tongue, follow up with your primary as it is suggestive of oral thrush.

Viral infections will subside on its own in about a week.
