Unfortunately sounds like you had a bad bout of flu.  And as you know there is no cure for that either.  Only if you get a bacterial infection, will antibiotics work to rid the bacteria.

Cold and flu are caused by virus.  The only remedy is to due steam inhalations, pain relief medications to bring down any high temperature and relieve aches and pains.  Best thing is to rest in bed and drink plenty of warm drinks.  

When vomiting and diarrhea are present, avoid milk and dairy.
Milk and dairy will also make mucus much worse, so avoid it when you have a lot of congestion.

The meds that you buy for colds and flu are not a cure, they are just to help to relieve the symptoms.
