Are you sure it's a cold?

A friend of mine died a few years back from the flu.
He tried to treat it with over-the-counter medications.

When his temp reached 103° his 'significant other' took him to the E.R.
but it was too late.

From start to finish took about five day.

So keep an eye on your temperature.

But it doesn't feel like the flu. No GI symptoms, and I'm not hot at all. I guess I will pick up a thermometer when I go out tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

Adults with seasonal flu don’t usually vomit or have diarrhea, but children might.

Best not to take chances...Go see a doctor

Get rest and if you can sit up comfortably a good read...hope you're feeling better soon!

I was recently sick and coughed so hard and so much my stomach muscles wore out and it was utter misery.

It'll keep everything loosened up and may prevent a sinus infection. Hugs to you.

And get plenty of rest. ☺️

Be well! No fun at all, that's for sure!

Hard to keep it to yourself, unfortunately.

Please don't look this way.

Hydrate:






Plenty of sleep/rest

I haven't taken anything but Ibuprophen, but I'm on day 2 of blowing and coughing up gross stuff. Just drinking lots of fluids. I have to work on Tuesday. I hope it's gone by then.

Is to inhale steam from hot water (maybe add a dollop of Listerine into it) or tea.

Well, that's because colds hit my sinuses the worst. Other people get hit hardest in the throat, chest, or everywhere equally.
