Wondering if anyone knows any quick acting home remedies for cold/flu-like symptoms??? I've done fairly well most of this winter and then Friday night BAM! I sound like I swallowed a frog, head + sinus congestion, and body aches...I need to get in working order by Friday night...My friend's wedding rehearsal then Saturday is THE BIG DAY :o(
Remedies??? Doesn't have to cure me 100%, maybe just kick me back into gear.
lots of sleep, ease up on all unnecessary activities. people swear by all kind of stuff, i drink tea and lemon water and take vitamin c if i remember. i get better super fast though, don't go by me.
Very choice recommendations. As for unnecessary activities, I ended up driving ALL day (first day out in 4 days). One town to file out medical paper work then drove all the way to my Dr. in Dover only to find that as a new patient they couldn't see me until tomorrow which they neglected to tell me ON THE PHONE. BAH! So I grocery shopped in Rockaway, bought generic nyquil. Tea was actually very helpful :o)
2 of my sisters and a bunch of my co-workers took tylenol cold and flu and were feeling better w/in days. and a few also put the vicks rub on the bottom of their feet overnight to help with their cough.
I just got back from my Doc. Basically he confirmed what I suspected, it's the flu. It's letting up but I got a prescription for the lingering affects.
Vicks rub on the feet? That's really interesting, I bet it works, I'll keep it in mind for my next bout. Bootleg Nyquil won this round.
Thanks Dan! Thanks G!
