I got sick on Monday night with a sore throat, cough, and a slight fever. Tuesday and Wednesday, I felt like I was going to DIE, so I stayed home from work both days. Came back to work yesterday and felt a little better but still like crap. Same thing today. I'm feeling a little better now. Obviously, this bug is on it's way away from my system, but I still have a sore throat. I have a busy weekend and I need to get rid of this crap asap. Any (non-perverted) suggestions? What can I take? What is the best thing to drink? Hot liquids or cold liquids?
I always try to kill the germs with alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol... Seriously - Room temp water or hot tea with honey have always been what worked for me.
I have posted this before but it really works: Boil 1.5 cups of water and add the following to it: 1 tea bag 5-6 raw onion rings Juice squeezed from 1 lemon 2 tablespoons of honey Gargle with some and then drink the rest.
I have been battling it since last Friday.......coughing at night, sore throat, and my sides hurt from all the coughing. I lost my voice too, last Saturday during my youngest son's soccer game......then made the mistake of going to a RR baseball game on Sunday as my voice was just getting back and lost it again... DD
I don't know, my throat feels great. I always drink cold stuff and eat ice-cream when I have a sore throat, I never learn.
Here is some cold advice that not a lot of people are aware of. A lot of people assume that when they get sick it is the result of getting a bug. However, I'm more willing to bet that when people get sick it is the result of indoor air pollution from any number of sources that send chemicals(in particular chlorine) out in the air such as: air freshner, lysol, lysol wipes, any cleaning supplies like floor cleaner, pledge, and bleach. Here is a link to help support what I say regarding volitale organic compounds from the EPA: http://www.epa.gov/iaq/voc.html Check out sources and health affects. My wife and I use to get sick for days and noticed it was usually after she cleaned house. The fumes from the chemicals float around the house through circulation for days and your body reacts as if it has an infection. We now use 'green' cleaning products. The sad thing is, most people don't realize that sickness and cancer is actually enviornmentally caused meaning caused by the things you breathe, eat and absorb unlike what the medical community will have you believe in that it is genetically caused. Whether this is you or not, just thought I'd pass it along. Oh yah, if your kid goes to day care, it isn't the other kids making them sick, it's the fumes from all the chemicals they use that kids are forced to breathe for 8 straight hours. This leads to asthma, allergies and Adhd. Enviornmental factors bring out genetic susceptabilities. Food for thought: http://www.healthrecipes.com/household_poison.htm get better!
What a shameless attention whoring thread. There are just so many of these popping up every day now. Whats next "Oh I'm constipated please help me I don't know how to poop"
What should we talk about, master? He is asking advice. I thought that in this forum you could talk about anything? I don't want to hear requests for prayers anymore! Attention whores! I don't care about what is going on in your life!! Selfish w****! JKKKZZZ MOOEEZZ ROLLLFFFZZZZ!!!
yeah.... you'd like that wouldn't you! (rhetorical statement, guys... I know that deep down (or not even so deep down) just about every last one of yous would take what you can get with a rockin' CF chick such as myself. )
He is not asking advice, he is prancing around like a middle child on Christmas, desperately hoping someone, anyone will give him the attention he thinks he deserves. ima2k is a cancer to this forum for a long time and sooner or later I will cure that cancer... with my bear hands.
