Any tips or remedies to help shorten a cold? (Maybe flu.) I had a sore throat last night, all day, and around 7:00pm today at work, (I work next to an oven, I make pizza.) I got chills. And they stayed, and I’m freezing my ass off. I’m pretty sure I have a fever. My boyfriend is picking me up tonight to bring me to his home, (About 2 hours away) and meet his friends. They all want to meet me badly because my boyfriend has never actually had a steady relationship, he’s your typical college jock, but those days are over and his friends are impressed I’m the first girl he hasn’t banged and left. So I’m meeting them, but I feel like shit! My joints hurt, my body is warm but I’m so cold 😩 He’s picking me up at midnight and I get out of work at 9. I’m gonna go home and go straight to sleep until he picks me up, but is there anything else I can do to speed the recovery process along? Would it be too much of me to ask him to be my doctor while we’re visiting his family? I wanna impress his friends, and we’re all gonna be drinking probably Wednesday night, but I know drinking and cold symptoms don’t mix...help.
