My little sister and I are SICK! HELP !?!
Question: My little sister and I are SICK! HELP !?
Then, I''ve lost my voice, I had a fever at the beginning of the week but not any more, my nose is completely clogged with a bright yellow mucous, and I've had mild coughing, and I can't taste my food. :(
I don't think we have the same thing, I was just wondering if anyone knows what we have and what we can do to cure it. Please and thank you !

Your sister has the flu, she needs plenty of fluids or she will dehydrate. Don't make her eat if she doesn't want to. Try to get her to eat ice chips and drink ginger-ale (it has ginger in it which helps the tummy when sick) just sip on it. If she eats try to get her to eat saltine crackers, fat free broth, toast, and cold things like popsicles to help get the fever down. Give her Tylenol for the fever and keeping the throat moist will help the coughing.
You need antibiotics. Anytime the nose blows out yellow or green you have an infection. I would say a sinus infection for you. You also have laryngitis which is infection in your larynx (voice box) which is why you can't talk. I get it all the time. You have to have antibiotics for that, it won't go away on its own. DO NOT TALK or WHISPER, it makes the laryngitis worse by putting pressure on the vocal cords. Whispering is the worst. You have a bad cold as well, a decongestant will help some but antibiotics is a must. You will be able to taste your food when this all goes away. Get antibiotics soon!!!

thers not much cure for wat u have try steam in a inclosed bathroom to clear ur
airways, goodluck xxxxx
for sinus congestion, sniff weak warm salt water up your nose (over the sink of course). For lung problems put a pint of peroxide in a gallon of water in a COOL mist humidifier, and run that at night while you sleep.
Go to a doctor.
