Preventing further sickness from fever

[Moses Shuttlesworth]

So I feel an onset of a fever coming along. I am home for the we and both of my parents are sick. What measures can I take to lessen the symptoms or not get any worse? My bday is on Tuesday

Plenty of Vitamin C and I would start taking some Flu medicine now if you feel it coming on. Other then that, can of Lysol and spray it throughout the house. I personally would wipe down every door knob, handle, cordless phone, tv remote and anything else your parents touched with alcohol wipes.

Works for me.

Like someone else said, take medicine now. If you can tell the type of sickness you're about to get, then take the medicine for it.


I've been real good at telling what type of sickness I'm about to get(it's usually the same type anytime it does happen) and can quickly get over it within a day at most.

Best thing I can come up with is Vitamin C and a bunch of water to keep hydrated.

Tylenol for the fever, stay hydrated and rest. If your body is fighting off something rest is just about the most important.

Emergen-C

Zinc tablets

Drinks lots of water. Read through some of these articles and see which foods you could get a hold of - foods that fight colds.

Yep I agree with the other guys. I find that even with all the medicine you can take nothing beats water to flush out the system. Whenever I get a cold or fever I just drink as much water ( and gatorade to replace lost electrolytes ). During a sickness I do what was mentioned though in wiping down stuff with those lysol wipes.

Apple cider vinegar and organic honey. Thank me later.

Honestly, on a night when you know you're not going to be going out..

Take some Nyquil and sleep it off. Nothing beats sickness better than some R&R.

I prefer and swear by lemon and honey tea personally but I like where you're going. Cut the lemon (rind included) into disks an put in coffee mug. Boil water and poor over lemon and let it seep for a few minutes. Honey to sweeten.

Water. Vitamin C whether through vitamins or juices. Gatorade to replace lost electrolytes though it doesn't have much of anything else in it besides sugar. Sleep.

And the only medicine I take is NyQuil or DayQuil.

Try to get up and do stuff from time to time too. Staying in bed or on the couch, you can trick yourself into feeling worse then you are. I was basically an extension of the couch for 3 days, and I had to wean myself off it like I was coming off an addiction. It was all I knew, my safe haven. Haha

I'm on antibiotics. Is it ok to workout while on them and dealing with fever?

I wouldn't. Your body needs rest to fight off whatever you have.

Alright so I'm better now. I've been off antibiotics for 2 days. I took Azithromycin

Is it safe to start drinking alcohol?
