Flu Remedies

[Kimiko]

Anyone got any good ones... been out of work sick for nearly 4 days now and getting desperate. ;_;

[Xiona]

lots of vitamins, water (or even those electorlite drinks that taste shitty), and sleep

ive noticed personally when i get the flu 4 days in is the height of my shity feeling. so i take the 3rd, 4th, or 5th day off of moving aside from shower and bathroom.

its amazing what napping on and off for a full day can do to help the flu.

if the symptoms are too bad i suggest vicks44 flu. tylenol is a great fever reducer as well.

Sleep with your feet out the window.

You'll get pneumonia, but doctors can treat that.

[Zirk]

Travel back in time without guarenteed safety and get the flu shot.

Thera-Flu. Works like a charm.

Trick to taking it is to put the powder in a glass and only fill it with a shot amount of hot water and drink it as if you were drinking a shot. That way you won't be sipping on it for hours(tastes kinda gross).

12 oz bottle of tussin to the face

[Altanass]

porridge with honey,bananas,rice,applesauce,peppermint tea, generally anything not too rich, not too fatty, not greasy.

stranegly enough, popping vitamins can make symptons such as diarrehea etc worse.

its best to eat as much normal food as you can, eating just dry toast and water, for example, will make you gradually feel weaker and you'l probably end up sicker.

also go for a walk, being cooped up in a house with the flu will make you feel worse than you really are. I bet you mostly feel tired and just want to sit around all day, this is because of being bored/fed up with being stuck indoors. Get up, go for a walk round the block, and get back to normal.

I do the same thing.

I take Thera-flu then sleep A LOT.

Also before I go to sleep for the night I take a hot shower wear a sweater and sweat pants grab an extra blanket. Sweat the demon out of you!

[Sigi]

Sleep is good...

I also like the old family remedy for flu:

1. make favorite drink
2. drink till you are A: cured, or B: too drunk to give a damn

[Exoduso]

Sleep, sweat, and water.

You'll be as good as new in a couple of days.

If you have a sore throat, gargle with lukewarm saltwater every hour on the hour. Every time you take a gulp to gargle, garlge for 10-15 seconds.

Drink one glass of orange juice every hour on the hour as well. If you can get Vitamin C supplements, take two of those a day.

Use Tylenol or IBU Profen to help.

Hot tea, any kind of tea is good, as long as it is hot. As you soon as you take it off the stove, only give it a minute to cool then start drinking it. The hot tea will kill all the shit in your throat.

For a stuffy nose that really bothers you. Boil a pot of water. Once it`s boiling, set it down and sniff the steam that comes out. Along with the tyelnol, thatll help take care of a runny nose.

Plenty of water between orange juice and gargling is also recommended. However, after you gargle with the saltwater, wait for about 10-15 minutes before you drink anything.

Cough drops are also very handy.

Lastly, don`t be too active. Get plenty of rest.

Sleep with your feet out the window.

You'll get pneumonia, but doctors can treat that.

I heard cutting your hand off works pretty good too. Cause doctors can reattach it.

[khain]

airborne tablets! those things are amazing. You just put em in a drink and enjoy. (They dissolve)

[megabyte]

Between work and FFXI, I come in contact with maybe 3 people a week... and I try not to lick their hands and such.

[Boyiee]

Thera-flu is nasty, but it does help.

Vitamins, ginsing, c, centrum even.
Nyquil since its usually hard to sleep at night with flu
sleep
water
lots of water
chloroseptic for sore throat
tylenol to help with the pain in the body and to kill the 104~ fever you are most likley running.

Greeeeeeen Teaaaaaaaa, just water, no sugar or milk/cream.

Do constantly, every few hours when you can, in morning, afternoon if possible, night, by 3rd/4th day you'll start to be better if not by the next morning, clariton12/24hr allergy/sinus or sudafed at that point. Continue nyquil.

No scripts or hospital time needed, have fun being cured.



note: this list will work, and covers all areas of flu symptoms so you kick it from all angels.

note2: do not take tylenol too often, only the 2 capsuls when fever starts to come back, never.other.than.that.

When I get sick I uses different things:

Gatorade
Chicken Noodle Soup
Egg Drop Soup
Spicy Food
Honey mixed in luke warm water, with some lemon juice (fresh = better)
Don't eat things that are very dry, or foods that dry up your throat
