I'm not feeling the greatest right now. Headcold I think. Headache, sore throat, all stuffed up. It sucks :gonk:

All day I've been in bed, sipping hot chocolate and I just ate some warm ramen with lots of broth. Surfing online, watching some South Park too. I know I can't sit the entire time, otherwise the phlegm will sit in my lungs and I'll get pneumonia :cry:

So, back to the original question; What do you do when you're sick? What would you suggest to someone who is sick?

um.........go to the doctor? xD

I'd drink plenty of liquids containing vitamin C and eat a lot of soup. Chicken noodle really helps. AS does orange juice. Tea helps, too. Lots of sleep helps as well.

I suggest you continue drinking hot liquids, and for the sore throat- gargle warm salt water [DO NOT DRINK] for headaches, drink tea and stay into a quiet area- usually works for me

I watch Ben 10 marathons on Cartoon Network... oh? You wanted something that would make you not sick? No idea.

TEA!! Tea is the answer to all of life's problems, especially when you're sick! I had some stomach issues today and a cup of Earl Grey saved me. <3

There's not much I do when I'm sick. I take lots of medicine, drink some fluids, and spend most of the day either in bed or on the couch with a bucket, box of tissues, etc. For me, there's not much to do except stay comfortable until it goes away.

I'm sorry you feel sick. I hope you get better soon.

I usually ignore all signs of sickness and proceed to try to physically beat it out of me by continuing all daily activities as if I were just fine. This will usually go on until my teacher decides my ridiculous coughing is too much and sends me home...>.>

Though, I DO take care with what I'm eating. I drink a LOT of tea when I'm sick, and usually eat very little because I'm just not hungry when I'm sick. If I'm nauseous/have a fever, I've now adopted putting an iced washcloth on the back of my neck (my mom showed this to me while I was sick on my way to college. I then implemented this awesome technique when I woke up with another fever a few days into the quarter).

ALSO, I love iced gatorade when I'm sick beyond just a fever...

Sleep is really a great medicine, though. It's like your body just forgets that it's sick while you're snoozin' away.

I was seriously thinking about making this topic yesterday. XD I get sick on and off because of an autoimmune disorder although I really try not to let it get to me. I normally write and I write a lot. I also draw and paint when I can sit up. Sometimes I just feel like sleeping especially if I'm anemic. I really try not to sit in bed and do nothing though because I am a fairly active person and it drives me nuts to just sit still sometimes it just can't be avoided though.

i generally just stay in bed and sleep. only getting out to use the toilet and find something to eat/drink. but then i'm usually always sick. i have lupus so it makes things difficult but i manage. but i supposed being a rugby player helps a little bit.

Lay around all day and try to get someone to make soup for me.

Speaking of I'm totally sick right now and I really want soup. :C

wow Sora has cold actually right now XP
but since he lives in the dorms, all he can really do is take medicine (if he has any) and rest until it goes away....

Sora has had it for about 3 days now and most of the symptoms are down, like coughing and soar throat XP

I have lupus too so I can relate. It's really hard to do anything but sleep some days especially when the pain kicks in and you just want to curl up in a ball and lay there.
