Question: ***just wondering


Answers: ***just wondering

as hot as you can stand it with doors closed and no exhaust fan. the steam is good for your breathing. also if you have a cough, rub some vicks vaporub on the soles of your feet then put on some warm socks. i don't know why but it really does work. and don't forget to use a humidifier along with your cold of flue medicine, theraflu is very good.

good luck,

hot as you can stand it..

warm

warmmmm! or hot. its soothing.

No take one or the other!

GET SICK..... TRY AND TAKE A COLD SHOWER.... ESPECIALLY IF YOU GOT THE SHIVERS FROM THE FLU OR SOMETHING ELSE.

100% OF THE TIME, HOT SHOWER

I always like a hot shower better whether Im sick or not.

yeah hot as u can stand it the steam let's you bearth easy , and sweat so all the toxin all out of ur system.

warm. Cold makes fevers worse because your body tightens up and keeps the heat in.

I heard luke warm baths with vinegar to bring your temperature down if you have a fever.. but a nice hot shower feels so good when you've got a cold

No, i normally dont take a shower if im sick, but a warm shower can help. Most of all, curling up in a ball. under some nice warm blankets, and going to sleep, always helps alot!

warm/hot and then rest after it. don't cool yourself off that could provoke a cold, the whole idea is to simulate a fever. but obviously you don't want to overheat.

i would say avoid taking one, as you risk getting sicker after getting out of the shower into a colder area (of course if you are sick for a reasonable amopunt of time)

warm and then put one warm clothes when you come out, make sure you use a hair dryer to dry your hair don't do not go out, if you must, then at least wait an hour

depends what kind of sick, if you are stuffed up, hot as hell will help clear your sinus and if you are feverish try just a cool/warm shower, doesn't really make much difference neither is really better, it's what ever makes you comfortable

depends. if your like at 39 then it would be better if u get into teh cold water and after you get out take a towel wet it in cold water so it will be cool and wrap it around youself. thats what i had to do at 40, the fifty-fifty dead-alive battle. i would suggest a mild shower if you just having a cold

When I get sick I'll take a warm shower drink something warm maybe tea and put some vicks vaporub then go to sleep.
