Sick as a Woof Woof.

[Greg Dent]

Yup woke up not feeling too good sunday. Woke up Monday bang. Full blast cold. worked today 8 till 2 and got home and went right into my chest. This is not my kind of fun. So ya I am sick as a woof woof.  I had a rye and ginger was really good but did nothing for me. GOing to take some pills and go to bed.

Just recovering myself... I drink a lot ..I mean a lot of hot tea with freshly grinded ginger with lemon and Manuka honey .. plus medicinal Ricqles (mint like alcohol liquid)

It really helps me to ease coughing etc.. 

Plus I eat fresh garlic with thin crackers ..(garlic is natural antibiotic)

Stay warm ! and take rest...

 

 

Hope you recover fast

Hot water baths recommended for common cold along with drinking of hot or warm water.

Alot of people swear on Vick's Vapo rub - put it on the bottom of your feet and then wear socks to bed. many I've talked to swear it works!

Here in Mexico many people actually put Vick's Vaporub in their throat.

 

Let me add, I don't recommend that myself.

 

Hope you feel better soon!

I think right on the jar it says "not to ingest"! Maybe it's not written in spanish.

Strange, I generaly apply vapour rub to my throat and wear a scarf.

My wife has essential oils she made up that actually work better than vics does. She does put it on my feet for me and made one up for coughs.

It went right down into my chest over night. So sore. Feels like a baseball in there. A steel wool baseball. Ya thats more like it. Time for a super hot shower I think. That usually breaks this garbage up for me.

Vick's changed their recipe a few years ago. No longer recommended to ingest ( put in mouth ) VapoRub.

One secret is to sweat a cold out with this caveat. Don't get chilled afterwards, cool down slowly, or it makes it worse.

Guaifenesin contained in cold medicine helps break up Mucus & Phlegm.

Get strongest formula you can - without a lot of "extras".

Drink 2 tall glasses of fairly warm water :drink: , then take the guaifenesin, wrap up and keep warm.

You need the water not only to keep yourself hydrated but the medicine needs it to loosen up the phlegm, so it can be got rid of.

Please get better Gregory and everyone. My two nieces are not well after coming home from their meeting last night. This is why I love this site because I can send and receive love without physical contact. We know JWs love hugs and kisses!

Ha ha ya I know what you mean. I think its starting to break up. Fever was pretty good. I couldn't get warm I went and had the hottest shower I could stand and I think it broke up what was in my chest. Took 2 tylonol cold and flew night time and went back to bed for 3 hours. Felt better when I got up. But worse now. Head ache too wow.

[Capablewife]

Are you feeling better? I got sick around the same time you did and I'm just starting to feel better. I had the same symptoms.

[bookie]

I do not know what works best, but I certeinly feel with you,
