I never feel bad about not exercising when I'm sick. Save your energy for caring for your little boy.
For me when I have a cold I make some spicy soup. I know everyone says chicken noodle and while I love that it just does not have any flavor when you already can't taste.
My fav soup is Hot Italian sausage & tortellini. I only use 2 links of sausage for the whole pot of soup so it's not like it has to much fat. But the flavor is great.
Drink lots of water and rest as much as you can.
If it's a head cold/sinus thing using a neti pot might help. I use one daily for allergies. When DH was sick a few weeks ago he could not believe how much the neti pot helped. If you don't know what it is check it out on youtube. It's kind of weird but helps. They sell them at walmart.
Hope you feel better soon:flowerforyou:0 -
if it is a cold and you go to the gym try the steam room it really helps me with my sinuses... but if not put some vicks in your bathroom and get the shower really hot.. hot... hot.... hope this helps...0
