I'm trying to get extra rest, but so far no good :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-cold-a-comin#post-1152335 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:29:02 +0000 Alivoo01 1152335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I pop zicam at the first sign of being sick also! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-cold-a-comin#post-1152314 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:24:00 +0000 looch 1152314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wash my hands a lot more than usual, especially if I have a really runny nose. I also drink chicken broth, if I have it available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-cold-a-comin#post-1152294 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:17:41 +0000 blackbird 1152294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pop zinc. Lessens the duration of a cold! Also lots of water! And get some rest to boost your immune system! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-cold-a-comin#post-1152014 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 23:55:07 +0000 HLK208 1152014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take zicam, drink a ton of water, make green smoothies and drink chicken broth. Then I just remind myself that the first day is the worst and the rest of the days are manageable.</p> <p>DH swears by this combination: a zicam and a mcdonalds orange juice and breakfast sandwich. Haha. He says it can cute cancer ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-cold-a-comin#post-1152010 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 23:48:49 +0000 Corduroy 1152010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first thing I do is tell DH "I think I'm getting sick." He always responds, "no, you're not." We just live in denial ever since LO started daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-cold-a-comin#post-1151452 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:55:47 +0000 MamaBehr 1151452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS had a nasty cold over the weekend, so I'm not far behind you in getting the first cold of the season (though I hope I don't get it!). When I feel a sore throat coming on I start gargling with Listerine. In my head, it helps. </p> <p>I hope you don't get sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-a-cold-a-comin#post-1151421 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 15:38:43 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1151421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm getting my first cold of the season, :sad:<br /> What's the first thing you do when you start getting symptoms? Vitamin C, chicken soup...? Let me know your "stay healthy" tips! </p>
