What do you do when you're sick? (1 Viewer)

Currently sick atm with a nasty Spring cold.
Yummy.

I think the worst part about being sick is not being able to taste anything!
Therefore I have no appetite unless it's for Coco Puffs.​

I drink lots and lots of water hun!

It helps replenish water lost through fever, sweat, vomiting, or diarrhea, keeps mucus thin (aiding congestion), and also helps the immune system to function efficiently, hence it speeds up recovery!

Thank you! I'm not even feeling thirsty either, but I know I need to drink as much as I can to stay hydrated. I just wanna curl up in bed and sleep for ten days straight.

you sure it's not COVID?

Test for COVID, drink fluids, check my temperature; if my temperature is over 99°F, I text my boss and tell her I need a nap. If it isn't, I just keep working.

It's highly recommended that you rest. Pushing your body whilst sick, regardless of a fever, is what can lead to having one. Your immune system is at it's most vulnerable, so you're just opening up doors for more pathogens to enter...

Go for a walk, you'd be surprised how much fresh air and mild exercise can help. Obviously do not overdo it if you have a fever since your body can't regulate heat well, but actually moving a bit sorta "sweats it out".
