    Default Sick!! (maybe TMI)

    So, I'm really sick...like sore throat, diarrhea (I know TMI), headache, and all. I sure it's just a viral thing, but I'm curious if anyone has any ideas as far as home remedies to help me feel better faster. I don't work until tomorrow night, but I hate being sick!! Any help is greatly appreciated.

    After long periods of diarrhea, try something like pedialyte to replace lost electrolytes. And gargle with warm salt water to aid the sore throat. Drink lots of fluids (tea, water) and aspirin!

    If you have the runs you might be dehydrated. I find the best thing to do is to get some soda like fanta and leave it out to let it go flat, then drink it. I know it doent sound very healthy but it rehydrates you and the sugar gives you a boost. Sometimes I do this if I have an upset stomach too and it always seems to work on me. DO NOT drink it till its flat or else it will make you feel worse. If you stir it with a metal spoon that will make it go flat faster.
    This also works really well if you do it with an energy drink like lucozade with glucose. It always makes me feel better. I also use this method when I'm hungover. :-)
    Hope you feel better soon hon, x

    ^^I agree, ginger ale and coca cola are supposed to be really good for upset stomachs. They actually sell cola syrup as a cure for nausea. And ginger is always good for tummies.
