longgone 873 August 10, 2013 Share August 10, 2013 I've heard drinking lots of orange juice helps. I don't really get colds or get sick anymore, I guess it's because not washing my hands every 5 seconds has built up my immune system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xievie 498 August 10, 2013 Share August 10, 2013 (edited) Boo-bucking-hoo. Man up, you big filly! Soup. When I was young my parents made me drink.. gatorade..? Not sure why. If there is some sort of medicine you can take, that's not bad either. I'm not knowledgable in terms of health and whatnot, sorry. Just get some rest. Don't play too much videogames or watch too much pony. Rest, soup, and medicine are all that I can say could help you. Edit: Orange juice, as ~HistoricallyInaccurate~ suggested, is also good.

See i dont normally get sick either, ive even been asked how i get sick so little, but when i do oh my god it kicks my ass so hard, and i never know what to do because it rarely ever happens.

Ember Gleam 167 August 10, 2013 Share August 10, 2013 Drinking a lot of fluids like OJ and Gatorade usually helps me speed up recovery. That and hot soup. I know it is cliche however think it actually helps lol. Everyone is sick in my house except me at the moment. However with my luck that will probably change real fast. Only time will tell if I shall walk among the infected. Hope you feel better soon bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtore 2,770 August 10, 2013 Share August 10, 2013 (edited) Yeah, it really does suck, I'm in the same spot. My cold doesn't sound anywhere near as bad, it's just been really long lasting and the symptoms have been rather weak. @ has already mentioned my two biggest suggestions: fluids and sleep. Little naps throughout the day can help quite a fair bit. I don't know how effective soup can be, but I find certain types of tea can really help relax your throat if it's feeling sore.

Golurk 468 August 10, 2013 Share August 10, 2013 There's a specific brand that I go to for this sort of thing: Zicam. Just make sure you get the tablets, not the swabs. Those have been shown to damage your sense of smell. Someone at the FDA wasn't doing their job. Otherwise, standard allergy medication can help ease the symptoms should you need it. Just try to relax, lay low, drink some orange juice, and eat some soup. It might also help to watch some comedy shows/ videos, since maintaining a positive attitude helps the body's healing and defense mechanisms to a surprising degree. And it very well could be that this cold is worse than most others. There's about 200 strains of the virus that causes colds. Luckily, you'll never get this specific strain again. Your immune system remembers this sort of thing. Indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunas Husband 2,777 August 10, 2013 Share August 10, 2013 Well as any good Doc well tell you, sleep ALOT! drink a lot of sprite, juice, water. Don't eat much... only light things, and well sleep. Other then that you really cant do that much to speed it up. I was sick a few times all about 105, yea it sucked a lot... and it was for about week one time it was about 2.

akalink 163 August 10, 2013 Share August 10, 2013 When you are awake and part of your normal day make sure to drink green tea, it may have caffeine, but it also helps to flush impurities out of your system. Also eat chicken soup, soup is easy to digest so its good if you are sick. Be sure to inhale the chicken soup vapors through your nose, it stimulates your sinuses and help your system work better. Gatorade would be good if it wasn't so sugary. Eat a banana and something with a little bit of salt to get your sodium and potassium which means drinking water with it. Avoid simple sugars and spicy foods. And make sure to get plenty of rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
