I think we are all coughing and spluttering right now. Plenty of fluids and a little paracetamol or aspirin helps but check out your pharmacy for something appropriate for children xx
Don't tell me-sore throat,tickly cough and you feel like death.I've heard alot of people having these symptoms and off work.Even anti-biotics don't work AND it lingers.Just stay at home and relax!
its winter, of course everyones sick, my two kids have had it for a week , my husband had it. now I have been suffering as well, last night I was in hell with a horrible earache ...real fun!!
the best way to treat it is lots of rest and a dose of aspirin/ibuprofen when needed
I used those shower soothers too, they work good
get a multi vitamin and some vitamin C
I don't know about the U.S. but Australia has had some odd prolonged sicknesses going round last year. I had the strangest virus I've ever had at the end of last year. I think flus and viruses are mutating or something. Unless it's bacterial medication doesn't do much just bedrest and relaxation.
Pray-Drink water-Take cough& flu medicine-sleep-Pray(do this for about seven days.)
Hi S*p*a*r*k*l*e*s*,
no way
get a multi vitamin and some vitamin C for all of them.
pest way separate him from others for few days .
good luck for all of you .
As you know B I had it last week and the best thing is not to eat anything, drink plenty, preferably water in sips if he is feeling or being sick and take something not containing aspirin for any pain. I was not actually sick but felt very sick and retched a lot, was very cold and then became very hot and delirious. Best to keep him in bed and I do hope he will be feeling better soon.
the best way to treat any sickness is by resting and monitoring your food intake. And of course keeping fluid level high, i recommend water and powerade (in small doses) to keep electrolites up
yes, mainly due to time of year cold weather changing temperatures.
my son had bad earache last weds,took him drs got antibiotics,just got home when my ear started to hurt
then i got a sore throat,cough,cold symptoms,headache and felt sick.
a couple of hours later i was red hot but shivering and couldnt move i felt like i'd been hit by a train.
im still ill today but its just a cough,very sore and swollen throat and a cold.
0h yeh and ive lost my sense of smell and taste.
so im well annoyed.
the doctors have said this virus must have been brought over by the forigners as he has never seen anything like it in his 46yrs of being a doctor yet this month he has seen so many people with it.
he said our immune systems are not use to the virus's that the foreigners bring over.
If we have a few more days of freezing temperatures that should kill the 'novo' bugs !
Son= plenty of rest and fluids
You = plenty of gin !
earache,shivers,cold,sore throat and a harsh tickly/dry cough is what is going aroundwhere i live i had it for 2weeks.
had to have 2wks off work aswell and my job you dont get sick pay so im pretty peeved at the min.
my gp said the health services have been analysing this bug and its come from the bulgarians.
so thanks to tony blair letting them in ive been left 2 weeks short of my wages .so yeh thanks again tony blair
the bloody we get out of this ridiculous eu the bloody better off we will be.
not that I've heard Sparks, but I've been really tired the last few days, and not eating much at all, actually I've felt sick as well, best advice, get loads of rest, drink loads of fluids and let it work it's way out your system!
Sparks, you got a lot of good advise from your fan club so take heed and take it easy and get away from your computer for a while. How did the you know what go ! ! Lott's of money ! ! x x B
I have a chest infection so i am not feeling all that great at the moment so my advice to you is bring the children to the doctor and get medicine and i hope you all get better soon.
God Bless
