QOTD 5/7

SSaltzman87 · May 2012

My being home sick today is inspiring this question, lol.

Do you have a 'regimen' you follow to get yourself better when you get sick?

Swazzle · May 2012

Aw I'm so sorry you're sick! Is it a cold or a somach thing? My sinuses/allergies have been awful lately. I hope you feel better!

I'm a big fan of green tea. The last time I was really sick, I drank a cup of hot green tea almost every hour for a full day. I started feeling better 2 days later which was like record timing.

turtleslove · May 2012

I drink Oj and green tea on a regular basis to keep me from being sick, eating healthier helps that too. Haven't been sick in awhile since I started eating better.
Same thing goes for when i am sick I guess. feed your body well and get lots of water and tea and warm foods to keep your core body temp slightly elevated..

Hope you feel better!

I hope you feel better soon! My only regimen is to have Fi spoil me stay in bed, I hate taking antibiotics. Take lots of Vitamin C, I find that helps when I feel like I'm getting sick!

Feel better Steph

I usually infuse myself with zicam and just go. Moms dont get to be sick (if only my immune system understood that). My allergies/sinuses are flaring up today and that sucks.

Now putting on my Mommy cap I will tell you to drink plenty of fluids, take your vitamins and REST. That is the most important thing. If you are congested a nice steam bath or shower will help. Also a humidifier. FI swears by the netti pot (eww). If its the stomach bug toast and crackers and chicken broth.

</div><div>All of the above. Feel better! When I have a stomach illness I drink coconut water. When I have a cold I use zicam, steam (in a bath of personal steamer) a lot with eucalyptus (keeps away infection), and keep on going. I get sick a lot, probably because I never get to take sick days and I do keep going.

I just have a cold thankfully :-)

My mom just brought me some goodies including zicam & OJ, zicam's always been great for me- although the nasal spray gives me nosebleeds so I use the oral spray. I usually drink fluids like a fish and sleep as much as I can, and my doggy takes naps with me. I might make some green tea later since I do have some lol.

hisbabygirl76 · May 2012

Mel you need to take breaks when you can, you work with kids too so they are little germ magnets.

Steph glad your mom got you some goodies. now go rest

[Deleted User] · May 2012

I always eat won ton soup from the chinese restaurant near my house...it seems to help!

Get better soon!

</div><div>Oh kids are SUPER germy. NEVER touch a random piano, folks! Literally everyone has touched them and they don't get cleaned often. My justification for still teaching when I'm sick, besides the fact that people pay per lesson and get angry when the teacher cancels, is that they gave me the illness so I'll just give it back! haha! But yes, we all need rest- thanks, mommy!

hisbabygirl76 · May 2012

Mel you always crack me up.

mymissingpuzzlepiece · May 2012

Feel better

I always just let FI take care of me. Whatever he does always works and really just him being there helps.

RebCappon · May 2012

I hope you feel better!

I recommend OJ and bed and Netflix lol

Agreed!

I love buckelys cold and flue or emergen-c.

rswans · May 2012

Feel better! With a cold, I usually drink OJ and gatorade, take a hot bath (the steam usually helps my head), and try to sleep. I'm not always so good at relaxing when I'm sick though, especially if I don't have the flu or something else that pretty much makes moving nearly impossible.
