I'm sick- how can I get better quickly?

Question

It's my birthday on Friday I don't want to be ill!!

I thought I was getting a cold yesterday- my throat had that coldy feeling like my throat was smaller and feels all slimy.

I woke up in the night and felt nauseous, so I went to the toilet, but I didn't throw up. But then I was shivering.

But I haven't yet got a full blown cold- just the throat feeling and slightly sneezy but my nose isn't really runny or blocked yet.

What shall I do?

Am I going to get the full blow runny nose type cold?

I don't want to be sick for my birthday!

Answer 1

The best thing for you body is rest now. Take good care of yourself and take it easy. Stay in bed.  Take vitamin C. One old remedy that really works is Once clove of garlic chopped up, some fresh ginger slices and fresh lemon juice and honey. Put this in a mug and cover with hot water. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so. Strain out the garlic and ginger and drink before bed. It tastes kind of interesting but it's an anti cold bomb. It's packed with vitamin C, the garlic acts as an immune system booster and the ginger is good for the belly.

If you rest and take good care of yourself... and drink this concoction before bed, hopefully you'll be better in a few days.

Another option is to get actimel. It's a yogurt drink you find in the dairy section that also works very well as an immune system booster. Drink one bottle a day. This usually clears up a cold within a few days.  Good luck with that and I hope you'll be up and going for your birthday!

Answer 2

u dont

Answer 3

Sounds like sinus congestion.  Take some mucinex.  It is an over the counter decongestant.  It should help and hopefully prevent that gunk from turning into infection.

Feel better soon!!

Answer 4

that happened to me before. except i was going camping that weekend.

well just dress warmly. get plenty of sleep. if your throat starts to hurt, get  to the doctors. because most likely it will turn into a throat infection, if you  dont take quick action, thats only if your throat starts to ache.

Hope you feel better and Happy Birthday!

Answer 5

Start taking Zicam when you first think your getting sick.  Get the mist kind you spray in your mouth, it works great.

Answer 6

warm bath, tea, lay in bed and rest.
