I've got another cold...

:(
My older boy's stomach virus seems to be better today. I hope we're all done with this by the weekend...

1. Sambuccol is good for colds (most use it for flu) and so are Emergen-C packets. Have you tried

Airborne? It really did shorten my husband's cold a few weeks ago and it kept us from catching a cold from an ill relative we were around all weekend.

Just drown yourself in fluids like orange juice, water, and tea. You might also take pro-biotic capsules or eat yogurt if you can (I'd advise against the yogurt for your son).

I wish you the best in getting well before the weekend.

2. I haven't tried it...

I've got a bit of a fever, too, so I guess it's not "just a cold". With my older son having stomach problems, I've been doing chicken noodle soup and tea...I don't want to push my luck.

5. And, I forgot candied ginger for the nausea. Try to eat a little bit more so that you'll have

nutrients to keep you going (just a few bites at a time). Maybe some applesauce or banana?

6. Ginger's good for the congestion, too...

I like ginger tea. :-)

Fortunately, I haven't had any nausea. I'm just doing easy-to-digest stuff to be on the safe side.

3. Awww, I'm so sorry.

Glad the older lad's tummy is better. Try to tune out all else and focus on getting better. :hug:
