What’s your go to for when you get sick?

Question

Some people go straight for ginger/lemon/honey, cough medicine, even alcohol & weed lol. 
What’s your go to? 
I truly believe that orange juice is going to get me right every single time.

Answer

I up my vitamin supplements, add zinc and lots of vitamin c.  Eat soups, drink tea, lots of liquids, don’t let feet get cold and sleep(but that’s the hardest because I have a toddler, so this is usually decided by him).   Here’s an important one that I’ve realized isn’t common sense to most people...Stay Home!

Answer

Dayquil.

Answer

Easy brothy soup, Gatorade, water, soda crackers, toast with butter, and Harry Potter movie marathon (or Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan. Those two always make me feel better.)

Answer

Depends what kind of sick but if we’re talking normal cold - zinc, a tea that has orange peel/cloves, lots of orange juice. I don’t ever take fever reducers. My colds only last 24-48 hours.

Answer

Depends on what type of sick. Generally, I’ll double up my dosage on certain supplements that I take regularly. If it’s flu/nausea/upset stomach related I grate fresh ginger into hot water and if it’s cold related I just use slippery elm. When I get sick, I don’t usually get it bad and I’m over it within a day or two so I usually just suck it up and deal with it other than what I listed.

Answer

DayQuil. If I’m sick enough to do anything about it, some extra strength DayQuil every 5 hours on the dot keeps me going. 
Only if I’m really ill though. Mostly i just suffer and ignore it 😂

Answer

I do a lot of citrus based smoothies when I’m sick, lots of bubble baths (cus why not haha). I switch from coffee to tea during that time and just try to sleep as much as possible

Answer

Zinc lozenges, every time!!! It really cuts down on the duration of my colds. I used to get them a lot, because I was a Disneyland pass holder. Got a cold every single time I went to there, due to all the drinking. 🤣
