What's the best flu medicine?

[Cloud]

So, I was perusing the CDC and .gov sites for info on how to prepare for and treat the flu. Just in case.

Interestingly, it says that most cases of swine flu do not treated by a medical professional. So, unless you are in one of the risk groups, or experience severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, you are supposed to stay home and wait it out. It says that people are contagious from one day prior to 7 days past the onset of symptoms (or 24 hours after your fever goes away without fever-reducing medicine).

So, what supplies should I have on hand? I went out and bought a thermometer, 'cause I didn't have one, and fever is the most telling symptom, and some Nyquil Cold & Flu. Any other suggestions? Are there better medicines, do you think? I have tylenol.

Here's the link with the list of stuff:
