labrujahRemind me what you do if you have a sore throat and think you are getting sick?
I got already:
drink as much water as you can
take vitamin C
sleep
drink green tea
???
Have those zinc tablets worked for anyone? Like miraculously staved off a cold? Every time I try them they taste worse.

Date: 2004-01-12 01:40 pm (UTC)even though its best to take before you actually get sick, it can also help during! try to get the kind with golden seal.
hope you feel better soon.

Date: 2004-01-12 02:15 pm (UTC)i always use halls cherry cough drops with zinc, vitamin c and echinaccea too- they don't taste bad like other straight zinc lozenges, though they are a bit sweet.

by all means...

and Paul swears by chicken soup! with Matzoh balls - they don't help the cold, they're just delicious!
Buena suerte, brujah. I'm trying to stave off the same thing down here. Echinacea is really helping!

Date: 2004-01-12 03:16 pm (UTC)&if you feel veery nutsy [&most certainly feeling the sick coming];
eat a few cloves of garlic; i cut them a little bit so i am not swallowing a huge clove.
run a HOTHOTHOT bath; as hot as you can handle.
the combo of the bath &garlic will make you sweat like a ninny; sweating out some of the narsty of the impending ick.
drink eXtra a lot of water as well.
best to go to sleep after said bath &wrap yourself in lots &lots of blankets.
[if your hair gets wet in bath, make sure it is completely dry before going to bed]
passout &sweat more while you are sleeping.
the girl i work w. ,as well as meself, do this &it works.
[&;amazingly, we never smell the neXt day, perhaps because we sweat the garlic out]
i supose though, if you are not sure you are sick [if you are not having any body aches yet, or head loopyness]; i recommend to knock it out w. plenty of C &E [E aids in ther absorption of C, so youre not just wasting the C]. i also take zinc/magnesium double dose. &a bowl of soup w. fresh steam'd vegetables.
&a movie w. a couple pots of tea.
