Take an Airborne! My sister swears by them!

They work even after you are already sick? I thought they were to prevent you from getting sick?

Feel better!!! You have a few days at least to rest and get better!!! Tylenol Cold Meds work really well too (the liquid). I always take that as soon as I get sick and it knocks it out right away!!!!

Thanks! I'm going home right after work to take some Emergen-C and Nyquil and go right to sleep! Hopefully I'll be better by Saturday!

They're for both. It's better if you can take it when you think you're getting sick but even after my sister is sick, she'll take it in the morning and feel much much better by the afternoon.

Drink tons of fluids and REST. Take vitamin C. Take tylenol to bring down the fever.
If you can leave work early do it!

<3 Nyquil .. I drink that bad boy like its water... knocks me right out ! Awww feel better love!

Christina - at night when your home from work - see if you can get FH or a family member to take some rubbing alcohol & dilute with a little water. Take some cotton balls or pads & dip in the rubbing alcohol & have the person rub it literally all over your body. This will help bring down your fever at night & help you to sleep more comfortably. This supposedly helps shorten the duration of the fever too. I dont get fevers often (not over 100 anyway) but when I do - I always have DH do this for me & when Ive spiked to 102, 103, it's brought it down to 100, 99 sometimes even back to normal w/in a few hours - and I was able to sleep so much better as a result - and when you get good rest - your body will get better quicker.

This is an old remedy from when I was growing up that the pediatrician told my mom to do...worked every time. Feel better hun!
