I take a EMERGEN C then I also gargle with warm salt water. My first symptom of getting sick is usually a sore throat, so if I can cut this at the path, I'm good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-feel-yourself-getting-sick#post-43075 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 06:58:29 +0000 MegWag 43075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vitamin C bomb it! That means 1000mg of Vit C an hour with lots of water. Keep it up until you feel better or your poops get loose. Try to cut out sugars (that includes OJ!)<br /> Works most of the time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-feel-yourself-getting-sick#post-43001 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:15:36 +0000 heffalump 43001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I warn my hubby so he can stay away and use different hand towels. Then I usually just drink some OJ.</p> <p>Hope everyone starts feeling better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-feel-yourself-getting-sick#post-42990 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:38:23 +0000 chopsuey 42990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Get some good rest tonight!

And start doing breathing treatments to keep it from going to my lungs. And I plan on going to the doctor a few days later because my illness pretty much always turn into either a sinus infection or upper resp. infection. I usually head to the dr. sooner rather than later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-feel-yourself-getting-sick#post-42970 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:14:22 +0000 chopsuey 42970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel headachey and feel a sickie coming on.</p> <p>I popped 1000mg of Vitamin C, drank 16 ounces of OJ, 16 ounces of water and now I'm about to go to bed! </p> <p>What do you do? </p>
