I have a terrible flu, what should I do?

I got a cold three weeks ago. It was a terrible cold but I got better last week.

Two days ago, I got the flu. I have a fever, a sore throat, and a stuffy nose. I have to go to school because of the intense workload. Skipping one day would basically mean failure. (Please do not dispute this. I do not intend to dispute this. I am ill and I need help.)

I am hoarse now too. I took Tylenol cold but that ain’t helping. What should I do? I’ve gone to the doc for a similar case before, but they just told me to go home and take Tylenol.

Excuse me if I sound desperate. I got a lot of work to do and I am already three days behind on my homework.
