People who'd become ill might've been treated with aspirin or cinnamon in warm milk. Oxygen was used for those with decreased blood-oxygen levels.
There was a lot of emphasis on prevention. Public gatherings had restrictions, people were encouraged to wear masks, and many doctors advocated that "people who might have come into contact with Flu germs to disinfect their upper respiratory system by gargling and sniffing unpleasant mixtures such as warm water mixed with weak carbolic acid and quinine, or boric acid and sodium bicarbonate."
There wasn't much else done for treatment.
