Hi, Lynn.
Sorry to hear about your suffering with this terrible flu :(
My husband has been coughing on and off since July! and refuses to see a doctor about it, therefore I do my best on this end to relieve his flares with eucalyptus leaves. For each cup of tea, 5 leaves are suffice. Bring to anboil and let simmer for 5-7 minutes. Strain, allow to slightly cool and then add a tsp. of honey.
It acts as an antiseptic and tremendously soothes the cough. Two to theee cups a day are recommended.
Hope you feel better soon.
