There is no drugstore around there that you can get something besides advil?
Do you have a fever? Err...nevermind, you probably don't have a thermometer.
Hot shower and Sprite (or some other fizzy drink) for post-nasal drip.
Sleep. Drink water. SLEEP.
well, I have been taking the advise by sleeping all day after my classes! thanks everyone, I'm gonna have some tea and honey w/ dinner, and some sprite for the pnd, take a hot shower and sleep
This is the time when I wish My mom was here!
make sure the tea is decaffeinated. You don't want it keeping you awake.
Frankly...... when I was growing up we always had tea with lemon, honey, and a bit of whiskey.
We slept.
go to a DOCTOR. If I recall, colleges have clinics.....there are way too many diseases these days that act like your symptoms to get info from a non-medical website and expect to be cured
that's even better. The heck with a doctor....drink until you can't feel, I LIKE THAT!
yeah, im good at this game. Although i can't say I've ever won.
You don't need to go to a doctor for headache and post-nasal drip. No wonder so many diseases are drug resistant if everyone goes running to the doctor to symptoms that amount to a minor cold. She wasn't asking for serious medical advice, just chicken soup-esque remedies to feel better. There's no reason to assume the worst diagnosis possible on the first day of feeling under the weather.
