1. For the flu, treat the symptoms, for example taking cough medicine, or medication to lower your fever. Unless you become seriously sick there is nothing doctors can do for influenza because it is a virus. That means antibiotics won't work.
2. If you can't move it and it looks deformed you need to get it looked at. Most places have urgent care clinics that are much less expensive than the ER and have x-ray capability. There may also be a low income clinic near you that you can go to. Most low income clinics charge on a sliding scale that depends on how much money you make.
