A really hot shower if you could take one just before the taking of the temperature, if found the best way to get out of school is to fake throwing up, or throw up etc, fever is a toughy

There are many different things you can do to ease the cold. Try drinking lots of Tea for example some ginger root tea. To make this you will want to boil about 4 cups of water. Get a 2" chunk of ginger and peal off the peal. chop it up into small slivers and put it in the boiling water. you will want to then turn down the heat and put a lid on the pan and then let it simmer for 10 to 15 min. Its recommended to not use sweetener, but i know for me i have to have a little bit of honey.\n\nNext a lot of people swear by garlic. I know... ewe... but it does have a lot of healing properties. Some say you should make a tea with it, but i say that is gross, so just take one clove of garlic, peal off the husk, and cut it in to small chunks, DO NOT CHEW! this will lead to bad breath. just swallow the garlic with water like tacking a pill.\n\nMy last recommendation is sweet lemon tea. My mom used to make this for me all the time when i was little and sick. She would boil some water put it in a glass with a whole lemon and some honey to sweeten it. I always felt better after drinking that tea. and it still works to this day, even though i have to make it my self now.

First don't take any type of medications, unless you really need to lower you temp.  Medications just mask the fever and don't do anything to help your body get over the fever.  Your body raises its temperature for a reason and that is to fight off the infection, so a fever, I know it is uncomfortable, is actually a good thing for your body.\nSecond make sure you drink lots of orange juice and chicken noodle soup.  The orange juice serves two functions.  First it provides vitamin C which helps your immune system which builds white blood cells to fight the infection.  Second it helps flush your body of the infection when you actually go to the bathroom.  The chicken noodle soup helps in the same way, but I don't remember whats in it, but it has been shown to help the body recover quicker.

Rest, rest and rest some more. Listen to your body - if you want to sleep, the do so. Also, drink a lot. By spending two or three days doing nothing and sleeping when your body tells you to, you will be fully recovered much more quickly than if you try to struggle though. Aspirin or another type of anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen etc...) can also help, but don't let the relief you feel con you into thinking you're better. I know it's boring, but better to be bored for a couple of days than sick for a couple of weeks. There are no magic fixes for a cold/flu. There are plenty of products wanting to take your money - beware.

The best thing is to control your apetite. Sometimes when you sit and eat you dont realise how much youve eaten until you get up. So get up and walk a few steps and dont keep eating alot. But if you have to vomit, then hold 2 fingers together and stick them deep in your mouth in your throat until you get a vomiting sensation and it will come out.

Take it easy today.. Drink a LOT of liquids.  I would suggest tea with honey.  Green tea is the best if you feel like you are getting sick.  if your sinuses are acting up sit in the shower so that the steam can losen it up (nasty I know but it works)  Stay warm, keep covered up and drink lots.  \n\nHope you feel better.

Go out with other people. Its the only way. Other substitutes are good alcohol, great food, and a massage. But nothing gets you out of sick mode better than getting back on the dating wagon!

It's difficult to give you advice without knowing what's wrong. If you are physically sick, you should go to an emergency room at a hospital. If you are emotionally unwell, take a deep breath and try to relax. Then call someone you feel close to and ask for help or advice. In the morning, call a therapist, counselor, or pastor and make an appointment to get some help. Good luck!

I am one to always "cure" myself.  Lots of rest, liquids.  Make yourself eat something even it it's a bowl of broth or crackers.  Sweat out the fever.  Get into the shower.  You won't feel like it but it will make you feel better.  Get your vitamins like Zinc, Vitamin C.  Ginger Ale is all I can take when I'm sick.  It may take a good week to get over.  I just went through this a couple weeks ago---it lasted a good 5 days.

Room temperature, no question. Ginger ale at room temperature helps settle the stomach. The first thing to do when you feel a nausea type cold is get your fever down. With fans, ice and as soon as possible tylenol, not aspirin

This may sound a little odd, but carry around a plastic bag with you, wherever you go. It gives you the security that IF you did indeed have to throw up, you have somewhere to do it. I've done this for years!!.. Also maybe some rolaids. There was a point where I could NOT leave home without my blessed rolaids. (Or tums). It's all in the mind you see, so whatever you can do to trick your mind into thinking that all is well, the better you will feel.
