Yeah, I could just scour the internet, and WebMD, or actually go to a doctor, but I'm using this as an excuse to start a discussion. So I want to know what YOUR favorite, most effective secrets for battling illness. I think I have the flu, and I've felt like absolute shit for the past couple days and my fever and body aches are the big deal. It's not so much a stomach flu, and I only have light cold symptoms (nasal congestion/running, dry cough) and those have been developing as it goes along instead of starting with them and going away. My fever has been all over the road from 98 - 101.7 currently back and forth.
What I'm really hoping for out of this is for some "Old Wives Tales" and personal quirks that you don't really get from actual medical advice! haha
Of course actual medical advice is welcome.
Personally, whenever I'm sick, I love to down tons of Gatorade (Light Blue Gatorade Frost ONLY!), at the very least to kind of re-energize me. I also use that before and after drinking heavily, and it slims my hangover and makes me feel like a hundred bucks after a long night of alcohol. I've also been popping lots of Advil, and I usually only take Advil over any other brand (tylenol, etc.) How about you?
