PrintableLots of sleep... and lots of really hot baths/showers. Go in there with a book and relax, it helps loosen up the phlegm (ehehe) and your body won't be as sore.
Sorry, that's all I've got. I'm ill at the moment too, AGAIN. I have a horrible cough. :cough: I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

Ok I've got some tea, Thera Flu, Tylenol and vegetable soup.
Haven't cut off my head. Yet.  I took off today so I'm in bed catching up on my Simpson's DVDs."I ordered no broth! Away with ye lest my cane find your backside!!"- Ralph Wiggum, Actor. | |

What you really need is someone who will rub you back while you sleep to help calm your breathing so you cugh out the sick. My mom always did that for me and it ALWAYS helped. ALSO- as Momma would say A little 'Tussin never hurt nobody, baby. Post scriptum- It's disgusting. So is Buckley's Cugh syrup, but they both work!  Imperially Yours,

Also, squeeze lemon halves into your tea, and drink orange juice from fresh oranges not that store bought stuff that's full of sugar.

Spicy chicken soup, and cover yourself very good. sweat it all out under a very warm blanket and you'll feel like a new person in the morning. | |

I've got a dear friend who's fighting the flu right now and I'm encouraging her to eat LOTS of spicy stuff. I had a friend who used to chug Tabasco when he was sick because he swore it cut the life of a cold in half. It DOES seem to work. Maybe it's a placebo effect or something, but it seems to work for me. | |

My ex-boyfriend used to make cayanne tea. Boil water, add cayanne (as much as you can handle...) and lemon. | |

Garlic, oranges. Though not together. Or, together, if that takes y'fancy 
Also, get someone to practise metamorphic technique on you. It speeds up the recovery process in the body  | |
