Tips on getting better quick

[Safferbeauty]

Hey guys I have a bit of a scratchy throat. Got a slight head ache. Not feeling too lekker. I have taken some med lemon and a head ache tablet. How else can I get better quickly. I cant afford to get sick. I work in a school with little ones. I cant afford to make them sick or take time off....

my philosophy is simple. Dont skinny dip naked in winter. Unfortunately i dont get sick much. I just turn awesome instead

[Safferbeauty]

haha. I dont do the skinny dipping thing especially in winter lol

injections: B12 and/or B complex really gives me a boost when my batteries feel pap. A nurse at a local dischem or pharmacy should be able to administer them ;)
...unless you're feeling brave:eek: (DIY)

...unless you're feeling brave:eek: (DIY)I have heard of all these vitamin B12 injections lately but what exactly is it? Why can't you just take it in pill form and does it really work?

Chicken noodle soup and plenty of rest.

Tea, lots if it, cause as you should know by now... tea can do it

[The_Librarian]

Chicken noodle soup (fluids and vitamins) and plenty of bed rest. (as Bwana said).

And fresh air as well - it doesn't help sitting cooped up in a stuffy room all day long.

Be cautioned - there are new flu strains which can also affect your heart, so if you really don't feel too well, best go see a doctor.

My pharmacist said your body excretes the pill before it even has time to metabolise so basicly the pill goes right through you without giving much effect.

The injections are IM - intra muscular - (into your bottom is usually a good place) few veins and large muscle.

A 10cc (=10ml) usually costs about R15. You should take about 1ml at a time. ;););) (once a week)

yea i now remember, i turn awesome and drink a lot of water... i mean lots....

[FrancTheTank]

Oh yes, the main advantage is that it helps with immune functions, metabolism and red blood cell production.

[AcidRaZor]

or was that copious amounts of vodka?

What works for me : sleep .

Especially if you have that "scratchy" throat effect and mild headache [instead of coughing/sneezing] , meaning you can still actually sleep uninterrupted.

Don't drink milk, gives u extra flem.

[Safferbeauty]

I now have a scratchy throat and a mild head ache. Just woke up but cant go back to sleep again. Man this sucks lol. I didnt even have a good nights sleep. I will prob sleep this afternoon though
