Not exactly the best thing to be doing sick anyway. Most flu viruses run from 7 to 10 days, so beating it fast will probably not happen.
I woul d seriously advise against diving at all though. If you have upper respiratory wheezing and tightness, you have quite a bit of lung surface area being affected. I thing being in water what...100 feet or more could have some serious problems. The other thing that may occur, and Im not completely sure of your symptoms, but decompressing with a stuffy nose or plugged ears is about the most horrible thing I have ever felt.
I'd sit this dive out.
Lots of sleep and water.
:S not sure if its entirely safe for you to go scuba diving, but try taking LOADS of orange juice, paracetamol 4 time a day (breakfast lunch tea bed) gargle on oraldene and strepsils. drink loads of water aswell. but i think you could also need antibiotics if ur chest is tight.
