    Default sick on my wedding day?

    Oh my god.. my wedding is in 5 days and I woke up yesterday sick as hell. I went to the doctor today, to my dismay what I have is viral and I can't get antibiotics or anything prescribed to help. I have a really sore throat (with a bit of white stuff and redness, but the doctor said its not strep) I'm achy, and my ears feel like they have pressure.

    I have been taking Zicam, Cold-eeze, drinking silver needle tea & honey, Advil, eating chicken noodle soup for almost every meal, taking cranberry pills for the extra vitamin C, taking my multivitamin, taking evening primrose oil, drinking orange juice. I just bought Mucinex and a neti pot.

    What else can I do to make sure I am better in 5 days?? I am totally freaking out. Everything with the wedding planning is done (thank god) so I have plenty of time to take care of myself. I don't eat dairy, haven't been eating meat except the little bits in the soup. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks Samba. I forgot to mention that I gargled with salt water a few times, but I must be really bad at it cuz I kept spitting it out on accident!

    I also just realized (after I opened up the package and took the medication, of course) that I bought the wrong Mucinex. I got the one for chest congestion, not the nasal/sinus congestion one. Fuck, does this mean I have to buy the other one too?

    This seems basic but you didn't mention it... get lots of rest! Like schedule 12 hours for you just to sleep, or at least lay in bed and relax.
    You also didn't mention drinking lots of water..

    Even with this, I think 5 days is enough to recover, as long as you take care of yourself.

    The longer you wait, the more time that you waste.

    I've been having a really hard time resting, I think because of the wedding. I bought some Unisom and will be taking it from tonight on. I definitely haven't been drinking enough water, I need to do that. I have to pee like every 5 seconds

    Thanks ladies.

    For some reason I find that - don't laugh - masterbation helps me kick colds and stuff. I think there's some scientific basis for this, like helps the immune system or something.

    It's just a thought. Worth a try, eh?

    If I were you I wopuld take some nyquill and go to bed. When you wake up, take your vitimins, eat some soup, take more nyquill and go back to bed. Seriously, try to sleep for like, 2 days straight. The body heals itself when your asleep. I have kicked colds in 2 days by just sleeping them off.

    From what you described, sounds similar to the monster sinus infection I had this time last year. You're on the right track and lots of good advice here so far. I'd eat a couple cloves of garlic too. Garlic gets those nasties.

    I hope you get better before your wedding!
