Hi welcome to the health care magic
According to history your flu symptoms are improving..
So continue Symptomatic management with....
-Steam inhalation three times a day
-Salt water gargle done two times a day
-vitamin C lozenges chewed frequently
-Avoid excess spicy
-more water
-citrus fruits more
-phenylephrine like decongestant taken
If after still more two days no improvement than Auscultation and chest x ray needed for rule out bronchitis
If needed throat swab culture also to be done
Hope this will help
Take care
