Influenza is self limiting disease. Most of the people recover from it without treatment. In 1700, they might have there own remedies to treat influenza. Probably some of them may be using the leaves with salicylic acid in it. ( It might have caused Ray's syndrome in children.) Including cold sponging for high fever. For secondary infection the did not have antibiotics. But human longevity was increased long (100 years.) before advent of modern chemotherapy through improved sanitation. You are going back to square one with multi-drug resistant organisms at hand like NDM1.
