Your body knows what you need when you're getting or are sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-57076 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:39:45 +0000 mrbee 57076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: hmm that's what I have too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-57071 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:33:49 +0000 Modern Daisy 57071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I know, lol! I had a really bad sore throat that turned into a cough, but this past weekend I started feeling a lot better. I do still have a headache and congestion and my throat is really dry - basically cold symptoms. My doctor is calling in antibiotics for both me and DH so I"m sure I'll be 100% soon.</p> <p>I hope you feel better soon - tis the season! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-57068 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:30:39 +0000 mrbee 57068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: yikes! What are your symptoms? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-57066 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:29:18 +0000 Modern Daisy 57066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually take a full 2 days off work (or WFH) and force myself to rest the entire time, even if I'm feeling better. That is really the only thing that helps! </p> <p>I'm sick right now too, I had a virus last week and thought I got over it. My doctor called me today and told me I have a staph infection!! I caught it at my nephew's bday party.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-57063 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:26:43 +0000 skibobrown 57063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of sleep, vitamin C, zinc, and whatever food I can stomach -- usually soup. If I have a cold, then a steamy hot shower helps a lot too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-57060 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:22:35 +0000 MamaMoose 57060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot baths and showers followed by a nap always makes me feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-57042 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:02:21 +0000 chopsuey 57042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take 1000mg vitamin C, drink TONS of water and OJ and I sleep! I also pop 2 tylenol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-57033 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:58:36 +0000 heffalump 57033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, lately I never feel good stupid migraines. If I can't find someone to watch lo I tough it out, unless it's super bad and hubby will come home. I take tons of meds and try to lay in a dark, quiet room. I feel so bad for my lo because she's always in the dark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-57018 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:45:40 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 57018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Down some emergen-c and whine to my husband.

Headache, sore throat, body aches...There's nothing much I CAN do except to rest as much as possible, drink orange juice, and eat well. Luckily, LO took a 3-hour nap this morning, which meant so did I. It helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-56931 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:28:18 +0000 Andrea 56931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been fighting sickness for the last few weeks. Lots of hot water, herbals teas, orange juice. Lots of sleep. Vitamins. Airborne. I don't take medicine because everything always makes me really tired. Not unless it is a headache in which case I take Tylenol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-56926 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:24:44 +0000 BoogieBea 56926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my kids get sick, I make sure I load up on airborne/vitamin c just to give my immune system a boost and hopefully not catch whatever they have. On the onslaught of a cold, I do the same. Getting rest with kids these days is a bit tough. So I would probably take some meds to hopefully nip it in the butt quickly.<br /> hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-feeling-sick#post-56921 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:18:58 +0000 mrbee 56921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I"m sick!</p> <p>I haven't been feeling great, but Charlie has been really sick and I think he finally wore me down. I had a horrible headache this morning and can feel my temperature spiking over the course of the work day. Gonna head home and rest, I guess.</p> <p>What do you do when you're feeling sick? Take medicine? Watch TV? Sleep? </p>
