Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Feet Caused By Flu

I have the flu (fever theee days, up to 102.6 this morning again, aches, chills, tight chest and dry cough), but my feet and swollen and really tender/painful on the inner heels. Could it be an indication that my kidneys are having a hard time? Glanced at a reflexology chart. Thanks.
