I woke up Friday morning at 3 a.m. with a horrific sore throat. I blamed it on the cold weather and sleeping with the heater on.
I’ve had three days of living on Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup. Talk about comfort food. It takes me back to my childhood when I ate it every day for several years.
I use my Neil Med sinus rinse, breathe steam from a pot of boiling water with a towel over my head — and take a handful of vitamins including C, D, zinc, oregano oil, a multi-vitamin for women over 50 and others. I thought I had allergies with post nasal drip, but now it’s spawned into chills, fatigue, cough and sore throat.
What I hadn’t been doing was staying in bed. As of Sunday morning I’m in bed. I’m writing this from the comfort of fluffy pillows and my favorite quilt. I have several friends who said they’ve been sick and it took a few days rest and sleep to get better.
I haven’t been sick for years like this. It’s not fun!
What are your home remedies when you get sick? What vitamins do you think help?
Feel better soon. ❤️
Thank you. I had two good nights of sleep and I’m getting better slowly. Amazing how not coughing all night and sleep changes things.
Yes! Good sleep is so important to healing.
The coughing makes sleep difficult. I finally took cough syrup and had cough drops on my night stand.
I’m a sleep and tea person. I drink as much water as possible to flush it out
That’s what I’m trying to do. I had such a bad sore throat it was tough at first. Tea sounds good.
Honey!!
👍🏼I didn’t even think of that!
It’s my favorite cure all
I’ll give it a try!
This sounds like COVID. Many people coming down with it even if vaccinated. Feel better!
I did take a COVID test and it’s negative. Also, I have a keen sense of smell. Otherwise it mimics the symptoms my husband had last January with COVID.
Yes, that’s what so weird about these cold symptoms, people can have same symptoms and one person has COVID another doesn’t. A friend of mine had very mild symptoms. He was positive. He was so surprised. It’s so hit or miss.
Also, I could have a false negative on the test!
