Home sick today

Just sitting home feeling miserable today. One of the hazards of my job working with little germ factories. One of the squirts gave me the creeping cruds so I'm sitting here with a fever ,body aches and a hacking cough and general blahs. Any body got any good home flu remodies? I've got about 7 things I need to mail out and can't get 10 feet from a bathroom.

    Rest, liquids, keep yourself warm. Antibiotics if it doesn't go away.

    That's it.

    Now, as to Rugster's advice, let me add my $.02. I once took 2 Imodium ADs when I had really bad you know what. Well, it turns out my body had somehow encountered a really nasty bacteria or virus or something that it was trying to get rid of. By stopping up my system I ended up in the hospital with an infected digestive tract. I was in really bad pain for two days and it felt like my guts were going to burst. I will NEVER take that stuff again. The way I see it if my body is trying to get rid of something I'm going to let it!!

    I hope you feel better soon, Wipala.

    I'm taking in as much fluid as I can but I start coughing everything back up a couple of minutes later. Sucking on ice chips is really the only way I can get any of it to stay down. I tried to take some cold medicine tablets and proceded to flush them down the toilet

    You know I couldnt help but laugh when I read this post... I am so sorry you are under the weather wipala.. its not fun...
    Working in hosptials has given me access to some of the best medical drs known to man...(some of the worst too, but thats another story) and the only thing medical science can come up with is 10 days with medication... 10 days without medication... *LOL

    Seriously though... here is a rememdy that I have used with great success...for colds and flu... its an old grandmas remedy.. but those are proving more and more to be best...
    2 ounces of a good rye whiskey
    boiling water
    ginger
    touch of garlic
    honey
    bit of lemon for taste if you wish.
    Make a hot drink.. adding a good sprinkle of ginger..(settles the stomach)...and just a bit of garlic... add honey to taste, and lemon..
    Drink two of those while they are very hot.. dont let them get cool...Right after you drink them, crawl into bed with an electric blanket on about medium.. or lots of comforters...
    In the morning you should be feeling a lot better.. reason?... the body has sweated out the virus...
    DOes it work?.. many many people swear by it.. drs are telling the patients more and more to use this as a remedy...

    If your looking to straighten out your stomach, eat yogurt with active bacteria cultures (most name brands have it). Those bacteria are the same ones that are in you, it will help balance you back up.

    I know it sounds weird, but it works.
