Today's Topic: Wintertime is upon us and I have a cold, running nose scratchy throat no fever (so far) and generally not feeling very good today. This lead me to ask if you have any special diet or drink (non alcoholic) traditions you turn to when your under the weather due to a cold, flu, etc;

I missed my Thursday LTL 10/27 thread last week mainly because I was just busier than ever. We had to pick up DS for a 7 day pass on Wednesday 10/26 which is an 8 hour drive turn around from rehab and DS Birthday on the 28th then return DS this Wednesday another 8 hour round trip Wednesday. Then an early appointment Thursday yesterday which turned into an all day event leaving me exhausted and I guess the reason I got sick this week.
It got me to thinking though about diet and having a cold, scratchy throat no fever yet and a running nose if any of you turn to certain foods or drink remedies (non alcoholic) that you take advantage of. I usually do something along the lines of hot tea with lemon or maybe some hot chocolate like comfort foods, soup and so forth.
Rest seems to be the order of the day for me especially since it's the weekend and even though the weather is good here in Georgia. We are suppose to have some rain the next two days so we'll see.0 -
I don't have any that I turn to today, but I remember when I was a kid growing up, my mothers go to for any kind of fever was a shot (probably no more than a tablespoon) of blackberry brandy. Burned like fire going down the throat of an 8 year old! Maybe I should try that next time i don't feel good.0

No, I’m pretty much an OTC guy - NyQuil, Sudafed, that sort of stuff. Ginger ale if nauseous, but that’s the extent of it.0

Thank you! DW talked with our Pharmacist yesterday and he sent her home with some OTC Coricidin HP and some Soft Tussin as a back up. It's helping some.0
