I'm sick :( how to get better...
Permalink Closed


I've been taking this stuff called "airborne" which has not helped at all. Drinking lots of fluids...taking advil...still feel crappy but don't wanna go on antibiotics. What helps you get better? I have a slight sinus infection...I'm not *real* sick, but it's just bad enough to be annoying...

Airbourne only works is you take it before you start to get sick (very hard to determine!).  Take vitamin C w/ rosehips and keep drinking liquids. Feel better!

I don't have great suggestions now, but a couple of prevention things (I get sinus infections all the time -- nasty allergies)


-take sudafed 12 hour daily when it's allergy season or you start to feel stuffed up.


-if you feel like you're getting sick, use Zicam - if you take it at the right time, I swear it keeps you from getting a cold.


Feel better

Take a multi vitamin if you don't already.  It always helps me get better faster.

vitamin c


zinc


lots of clear liqiods

Best not to take antibiotics unless you *really* need them!

i think airborne's supposed to be taken before a cold to prevent them.  drink hot water w/lemon throughout the day, gargle w/warm salt water then down as much water as you can before bed.  plus, as much sleep as your schedule allows.


i was there a few weeks ago, so hang in there.

Chicken soup or matzo ball soup even if you are not Jewish. It is easy to make and has amazing healing powers. Just make sure to add a few sprinkles of cold water to the matzo ball mix and refridgerate for at least 30 minutes. I was sick for over a week had some of the soup and felt so much better.
