SO FREAKING SICK

Oct 07, 2009 22:30

Well, day 3 is coming to a close. Sunday night I was exhibiting signs of soar throat, but I attributed it to singing at Mass in the evening. Well, Monday morning I knew it wasn't overuse of my voice.

I had the makings of a throat infection. Now, I didn't know if it was strep or not simply because I hadn't had a fever yet. I started taking Echinacea ( Read more... )

OH SHIT DO NOT TAKE ZICAM! STOP NOW! I'm fucking serious.

Fluid, chicken noodle, echinacea, maybe the nasty oral zinc sub-lingual things (they're the only ones FDA proven effective) and like.. Tylenol for fever/pain. NO ZICAM.

I came in here to make a joke, too. -.- But I'm not joking. But here's the joke:

No worries, I'm taking the oral tablets, which that warning doesn't apply to.

Other than that, I took some NyQuil last night which was -amazing-. Never used it before, but it freaking helped. (Had to take some Ginger root with it though to break up the iron because I had taken tylenol a few hours before, and they both have acetaminophen in them)

Other than that, I'm still on these anti-biotics to bust this thing in the balls before it gets worse. I'll keep taking the echinacea for a while to keep my immune system up with the anti-biotics, and plenty of Vitamin C. And of course, lots of water :P

Oh, and haha, this sickness has caused a loss of any cognitive grammar abilities I may have. But yes, it soared. XD

lmao. Glad it soared.

Zinc is only helpful if it's oral and disintegrates in your mouth. VItamin C has limited effect. Echniacea I think helps but is limited, too.

*shrug* I recently had to do a CE on colds, but you have a virus, so vitamins will help for sure. Vitamin E and D help you heal, which is important.

Anyway, enough pharmacological and herbal crap from me. Feel better!
