Abby, I'm sorry your family has the flu. Please watch out for "secondary" infections if you get the flu. Some people, for whatever reason, are getting them and dying!
You also may need more respiratory support, like oxygen or a CPAP or BiPAP. Or a rescue inhaler. If you get so sick that you can't take a breath in or out well, it's time for the hospital!
Inhaled steroids can be beneficial too.

Well, like I said, there are other supportive therapies that can help you while you have the flu!!!
I'm glad you didn't get a full blown version of it, Abby, but it sounds like it was bad enough.
