How do I treat this?
I woke up at 3:00 this morning and my throat was sore. It started being sore yesterday and I also get shivering even though I am warm. But that has mostly stopped. My eyes were burning for a few minutes also. My mom just got over the flu, did I catch it? Please offer some home remedies if possible. Thanks! :)Oh and I am out of honey so I can't use that.

It sure sounds like the flu. The best thing for the flu is to get plenty of rest and drink plenty of clear liquids.
Clear broth type soups, water. Something called "Smart Water", or Gatorade if you have the runs is very good for you. Gatorade has a lot of sugar, Smart Water does not. Tea is not that good as it constricts blood vessels,but a little won't hurt.

When I get sick I usually have no more than 5 hot cups of green tea per day. No sugar and a little bit of honey. But you can do it without honey. I also gargle hot salty water. One time I basically choked myself with hot salty water and hacked it back up instead of just gargling. It worked but I wouldn't recommend that. I was told that vitamin C doesn't do much once you're sick, but I think it's underrated.

just lay in bed and drink a lot of water.
