When you're feeling under the weather, what's your go to make-yourself-feel-better remedy? I randomly woke up with a scratchy throat, feeling all sorts of congested and would greatly appreciate any and all help!

    Zicam and also Airborne immune boost, I suck on these babies everyday anyways.

    I stay hydrated (propel, Gatorade), and eat soup or any food as long as I have appetite.

    I'll take a hot-as-Satan's-piss shower and follow up with some gingermint or lemon tea w/ honey. Throughout the day I'll stick to warm/soft comfort foods (i.e., apple sauce, gelatin, soup, etc) and lozenges. I also use nasal sprays.

    I hope you feel better soon! Being sick is the worst.

    I have a box of ginger and lemon green tea in my cupboard, drink 3 or 4 of those a day and take echinacea as well as the standard cold and flu stuff!

    We always get Dad to make us his magic tea. He takes 3-4 tea bags and an entire lemon, halved, and boils them in water for about 15 minutes. Plus about 1-2 cups of captain's. Works like a charm.

    I wasn't, but I can blame the 16+ weeks that I spent being bossed around by them.
