OK,
must
admit,
asked
this
because
I
was
really
wiped
out
and
really
sick
--
thank
you
for
all
the
suggestions.
I've
failed
to
get
rest
--
I
know,
I
know,
need
to
work
on
that
--
but
I
think
I've
had
more
healthy
food
and
emergen-c
and
tea
than
I
ever
thought
possible.
Now
need
to
find
a
way
to
chill
a
bit
and
get
more
sleep
--
you
guys
are
a
motivation!

2-to-3
Advil
(depending
on
the
presence
and
level
of
pain),
a
cup
of
herbal
tea
with
2
fresh
cloves,
honey,
orange
slice,
and
cinnamon
every
4-8
hrs,
warm
PJs
and
SLEEP!
Lipton
noodle
or
chicken
noodle
soup
works
in
between
when
my
appetite
comes
back.
Kate 7th Apr
depends
on
the
type
of
sick,
but
i
tend
to
view
sick
as
your
bodies
way
of
saying
SLOW
DOWN!!!!
or
maybe
EAT
SOME
VEGGIES
lol!!
so
yes,
sleep
and
healthy
vitamin
packed
foods
(much
more
potant
than
any
pill!)
are
the
answer.
i
didnt
say
it
was
an
easy
answer
:)
but
taking
a
couple
of
days
to
heal
will
save
you
weeks
of
illness,
not
to
mention
possible
worse
ills...
Vera Babayeva 6th Apr
Get
someone
to
watch
my
children,
mother,
mother
in
law,
husband,
nanny.
Get
a
large
pot
of
hot
tea
with
honey,
lemon,
close
the
bedroom
door,
drink
the
tea,
dress
warmly
and
sleep.
Heather 6th Apr
this
is
a
tough
one
considering
we
work
fulltime
and
are
fulltime
moms!!!
i
will
put
my
daughter
in
front
of
her
favorite
movie
and
just
lay
back
in
the
leather
recliner
and
rest.
SaneMom 6th Apr
i
fall
back
on
emergen-c
drinks
(tons
of
vitamin
c
and
they
taste
great!),
liquid
goldenseal
(just
a
bit,
it's
pretty
potent)
and
olive-leaf
spray
if
it's
anything
throat-respiratory
related.
and
yes,
sleep
in
as
vast
a
quantity
as
I
can
get,
but
it's
never
enough!
DebR 6th Apr
MY
MOM!
she is a life saver! Hubby had to work and she came and watched the kids and me! reall, Sleep. I was sick in bed for 2 days, barely could walk to the kitchen, the only thing that made me feel better was sleep. and lots of water. a little soup never hurts.

Assuming
that
my
husband
is
home
to
watch
the
kids,
my
most
trusted
remedy
is
SLEEP!
Of
course,
there
are
those
times
when
that
is
not
possible.
I
put
one
of
the
kids
favorite
movies
in
the
DVD
player,
pop
them
some
popcorn,
make
Kool-aid
or
juice.
Get
some
throw
pillows
for
them
to
sit
on
to
watch
their
movie.
I
then
make
a
cup
of
herbal
tea,
and
just
veg
out
for
a
while
til
hubby
gets
home.
