When you're sick

What do you do when you get sick? Especially if you get a lengthy illness such as a respiratory infection? I have trouble sleeping so this is what came into my mind.

Hot steamy shower and hot tea. Usually breaks that crap up and help you cough it up.

Lots of orange juice....like half a gallon or more if you can take it. That's what I do if I even think a bug is coming on. Works for me. Anything that boosts the immune system. Vitamin c is your friend.

Since you're already there...you may want to try oregano oil. Heard that was a good fix for pneumonia so don't see why it wouldn't work for other respiratory infections.

Orange juice wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have acid reflux for me. So I just take supplements. I've heard of oregano oil being good and I also heard of garlic being good also. But I don't want to smell like garlic.

Icecream nonstop. Helps numb your sore throat 🙂

Preferably cookies n cream or Maxibon/Magnum Almond concoction.

I go to a doctor if I get sick. Update on shots and what not. Eat healthy meals. Especially fruit and veggies. Because it is light on the stomach.

Fresh Ginger/ lemon tea, hot showers etc but not too sure.

I DO hope you feel better soon, no sleep is a buzzkill...

You should order the oregano oil...those kind of infections can last for weeks.

It can probably be delivered to you in a day or 2...I'd look at reviews to see which brand is the best quality.

Maybe try to find something else with vitamin c that's not so hard on the stomach.

Hope you feel better soon !

I'm sick atm too. 😢

Awwww Scruffles I hope you feel better soon boo !!

This is what I do

Herbal Tea/Hot Shower for bronchitis, flu, cold, allergies, sinuses

Hot Toddies. Will help you break stuff up, sweat out fevers, clear sinuses up. But I'd recommend not drinking too much while you are on medication.

Jalapenos. Won't recommend it for you if you have Acid Reflux. But a little heat to clear the nose.

Stomach bug.. Mix gatorade with carbonated water and tablespoon of ginger. Get rehydrated and settle your stomach. Might not taste all that great, but it is bearable to drink.

WUT 😡

Kick its assth immediately 🤗

If you do everything said here tonight....you should be healed by tomorrow 😉

Vitamin D-3

Not just D

D-3

It shortens the illness.

And Guaifenisen... look it up and go buy some.

You don't need all the other crap mixed with it .

It's sold by itself at Walgreens.

Feel better.

Ginger for stomach virus.

All these things mentioned here definitely help, but when I got bronchitis three years in a row it was terrible and lasted for weeks. Couldn't sleep, eat or anything. What cleared it up real quick was a trip to the doctor and a script for an antibiotic, prednisone and inhalers. Only wished I had gone to the doctor sooner!

Hope you feel better soon!

If you look at the printout that comes with a prednisone

script, under the side effects, you will find one of them

to be: inappropriate happiness.

Srsly.
