11 Days away and I feel like I'm getting sick

I feel something coming on and I don't know what to do. Anyone have any home remedies to ward off what feels like it may turn into a cold by my wedding day......HELP!!! TIA

Airborne! Get it and take it for a few days and you'll dodge whatever you're fighting.

it's probably stress, the weather, and maybe a cold. get some SLEEP- drink some oj, and take care of yourself- maybe take a mental health day and relax at the beach or pool.

I was thinking of this, but what would a doctor actually be able to do for a cold? There aren't any secret prescriptions out there, are there?... If there are then sign me up

I usually take Echinacea and Vitamin C - maybe take a Cold-Eeze (taste nasty but work). Get lots of sleep.

Feel better

1) overdose on liquids - water and orange juice (though vitamin c is probably too late)
2) overdose on zinc - cold-eze is good
3) get plenty of rest

Ditto... And maybe for good measure, go to the doctor. I know when people get sick on vaction doctors can give you something called a 'vaction saver' I really don't know what it is, but FI's niece got a stomach virus during a trip to Disney and the Dr. down there gave it to her and she was ok. Most importantly get rest.

Good Luck!

Re: 11 Days away and I feel like I'm getting sick

Thanks everyone....Don't worry I wasn't planning on OD'ing on any medicines (I'm one of those people who is afraid to take 3 tylenol) That is a terribly sad story though.... I will drink lots of liquid and do some of the other things you guys have suggested..... I'm sure its stress, and the fact that I haven't been able to sleep in the past week because its so hot in our apt (and no AC)....but thanks again!!
