I feel like crap...can anyone help me feel better?

My throat is really sore, %26 my nose is stuffy. I have an occasional cough to. What should I do to feel better?

Thanks,
Blondie
Answer:
First, eat two crackers, then take two Advil or Aleve and one Benadryl. Then make a pot of hot tea with lemon and enough honey to make it pretty sweet. Run a not too hot bath and get in, getting your hair wet. Not a shower. A bath. Drink one cup of tea in the bathtub. Put on comfy pajamas that cover your arms. When you get out, drink more tea and eat two pieces of cinnamon toast, enough cinnamon to make your nose run. Take one little dose-cup of Nyquil. Get into bed. Fix your pillows just right. Put a wrapped-up ice pack on your forehead and two others on either side of your neck below your ears and under your jaw. Baby yourself for two days and eat chicken noodle soup and more tea and cinnamon toast.

Pretend this is your mother talking. I raised three kids and one husband on this cure and it works.

Strangely, I heard that decaf tea with honey is very good for a sore throat. The tea contains stuff to get rid of free radicals and the honey kills bacteria!

---

Sleep! Take some throat spray and keep the tissues near by. Rent a good movie and curl up under some blankets.

---

hug

drink a cup of tea and watch ur favorite movie while cuddling up in your favorite blanket. :)

---

take some pain killers or Ny-Quil and go to bed for crying out loud!!

allergy medicine.

---

robitussin for your throat, afrin for your stuffy nose, chicken soup to help knock it out of your body and get to sleep ASAP

---

Oregano oil, 2 drops in the morning and 2 at night for 4 days. It will kick viral butt and have you on the mend in 1/2 the time.

---

It sounds like you suffer from allergies. Try taking an antihistamine such as Benadryl. If allergies are the culprit you should begin to feel some relief in a very short time, perhaps even minutes.

---

have you heard of the netty pot? it was on oprah... you make this mixture of saltwater and baking powder and then allow it to flow into your nose... it cleans out bacteria and helps a ton with sinus problems!! it's also really cheap and you can use it again and again.. just google it.. good luck!!

Rub vicks on your lip, the vapor helps the congestion, and take a tablespoon of honey.Helps the sore throat.

Cold medicines do not work, they are designed to not work, so that drug companies can milk more and more money from consumers. You should eat lots of healthy foods, hot foods like onions, chilli and garlic (garlic is especially good) in your everyday diet can help combat getting sick, theres not really much you can do about a cold once you have it except try to make yourself comfortable, have a nice hot bath and inhale the steam.

---

soup, and night quil, and a warm blanket...

---

Drink as much tea and water as you can to flush the bug you have. Hot mint tea is what my grandmother use to give me.
Pure spearmint leaves in hot water. I coughed all kinds of gross phleghm up. You can try Bigelow mint medly if you can't find dried mint leaves.
Do not have dairy when you're sick. Orange juice also has vitamins you need at this time.
FEEL BETTER:)

Drink lots of fluids, mostly water. Get some sports drinks. If you have a fever, you may want to see a doctor. It's a sign of an infection. Get some cough drops. You should probably go to bed and stay there. If your runny nose is clear and stays that way, it's just allergies and you should go to the doctor to get prescribed something for that. If it turns green or yellow, it's a cold and you also should go to the doctor. Hope you feel better.

Hey Blondie, sorry you feel so terrible. Hey listen, I just been through a One year, three month nightmare where I fell from a ladder and practically killed my self. After months of therapy, operations, I'm now getting on my feet. Ive been thru hell and am actually still there, however I'm writing to you with a smile because I know one day I will shine again. If I can do It, you can. Putter up, check out a web site called streetfire.net watch some cool races, how about Wedding Crashers, I know you'll love that. You'll be OK. Luck to ya, Steve.

I feel like crap too, so I can't help. All I can suggest is sleep.

---

Sorry to hear that . . .it sucks being sick.
Use nasal spray to help relieve the congestion. Try HydraSense it is saline solution and you can use often.
Use Puffs Kleenex when blowing your nose, they are gentle to your nose so you don't look like a clown. I have learned this from experience :o(
Try and rest if you can.
I hope you feel better soon. . .It is so crappy being sick, especially during the summer.
