2. Try a hot toddy. Worked wonders for me last week when I had
a nasty cold.

Recipe from a Scottish relative of mine:

heat 1 cup water, add 1 tablespoon Irish whiskey, and add 1 about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon honey. Stir. Make sure you drink it while its hot.


Hope you feel better soon...

9. Chicken soup, plenty of fluids
if you have a very high fever and start coughing or being short of breath you know the drill.

That said... I highly doubt you are patient zero....

Or have you been in SE Asia recently?

(Those are the standard questions by the way)

13. If you have a high fever you may want to go to the ER
Edited on Wed Nov-02-05 08:22 PM by nadinbrzezinski
as much as I hate to say it... what kills people is not the virus, but the other infections.

If you don't do the ER, go see your doctor, antibiotics (if this is an associated problem) may be in order

16. Here in the midwest,many of us suffer this time of year and
hope for a hard freeze to kill all the molds and allergens that are so so bad this time of year.

Hot tea,rest and a trip to the doctor for you if you aren't better soon.

21. Same in the south
I've had the crud for THREE WEEKS! It's not contagious, because no one else in the family has gotten sick. I think it's allergy related.

My chest feels like it is filled with gunk and I've coughed until I have to hold my sides. My voice sounds like Harvey Fierstein!

:(
