DKD: Mr. Mojito's been sick for a week. Doctor suggested Musinex to break up the conjestion . . . and to alternate Tylneol and Ibprophen. She aslo told him the ones who are ending up in the hospital are usually sick AND dehydrated, so keep drinking clear liquids.

Sent TamiFlu home with him for me!

Hope you get well soon.

I had the same thing last week. This stuff stopped it from going into my lungs, which I HATE!:
Lots of water
Vitamin C.....at first sign of symptoms
Zinc lozenges.....at first sign of symptoms
Aspirin during the day
NyQuil at night

I had this crap back before Christmas, and Granny's hot tea sure helped me to sweat it out and get better quickly..........

Cup of very hot tea
TBS lemon juice
3 TBS honey
1 1/2 TBS Jack Daniels

Vitamin C... in Linus Pauling doses. 6000 milligrams a day kinda stuff. clears out the sinuses, and really does wonders for a nice, legal, headrush

Useless tidbit of information: Linus Pauling's grandson (also named Linus) was my bestest bud until 4th grade when I moved...wonder what ever happened to him.

And since this thread is about being sick, when Linus got the chicken pox in 3rd grade I had never had them, so I stayed at his house for several days and nights in the hopes that I would get them too, and get them over with. Didn't work, and I still haven't had them.

a) I hear he turned into a bitter old man, having never seen the dissappearing teddy..

b) You should have hung with me.. when I got them, I infected an entire town in 1973.
