I hate you, please go away and leave me alone.
I seriously hate being sick! What are some of the things you guys do when you get all congested and feeling like you have aids.

I hate mucus too..
If I have the coughs, I just bring it up and keep spitting it out til there's no more.
If I'm sick like fever sick, I wear a ton of clothes and sleep under a ton of sheets to sweat like a fat man on a treadmill. I power through it in a day.
Fuck being sick..

What I do:
Get lots of sleep if possible and use layers of blankets to sweat it out if you have a fever (get off the computer! haha)
Drink lots of water and tea
Take DayQuil, NyQuil, or TheraFlu for congestion
Take Vitamins and eat fruits (mix lemon juice and honey and drink in a shot glass)
Use cough drops if necessary
Get some fresh air for a little bit.
Keep a bottle of Vicks Vaporub nearby. That stuff works for everything.
Get well soon man.

emergen-C or airborne helps too. and lots of napping and bad movies/tv. walker texas ranger helps too.
maybe I'm just hardcore, but when I get a cold, I sweat it out of me. I go to the basement and beat on the bag until I need to stop to puke, then I start beating on it somemore or go for a run...

Emergen-C works to prevent.
But when I'm already fuct, a DayQuil or two in the day is all I need to be back in action.
I've only had to do it once though, because I was working in a restaurant and couldn't be dripping snot into the food.
Otherwise I tough it out, with a box of Kleenex and some water.
step one, stop being a pussy. <3

Hot green tea
For sore throats I boil a pot of water, cut up two lemons and toss it in, pour into a cup and finish off with some honey.

Not to jinx myself but I haven't been sick for at least 3 years... Probably just killed it right there but what I remember doing was drinking a lot of tea and wrapping myself with hella blankets and wearing a lot of layers to try and sweat it out...

Try some Honey+Lemon, and electrolites, like pedialyte or gatorade.

It might help to avoid dairy products; they're good at producing mucus. I sniffle constantly and recently cut dairy out of my diet entirely, I haven't sniffled all week.
Also: medication simply doesn't work for me. Theraflu, Dayquil, allergy meds, tylenol sinus, wtfever, it does nothing. Ever. But Mucinex 12 hour nasal spray, seriously, is some magic shit. Feels like you're injecting Vicks straight into your brain, but man...I breathe free and clear for, like, the whole day. :)

I'm going to try Mucinex 12 hour nasal spray next time I have the sniffles. Nothing has worked for me either. If it's the cure, I will <3 you long time.
