I got a nasty cold last weekend and I'm tired of eating soup. What gets you through the sore throat/dripping nose illness?

Get a fresh whole lemon, cut it in half, and squeeze the juice, then throw it and the juice into a pot. Put a chunk of fresh ginger that's had the skin scraped off in with it, and cover them with water. Boil them for awhile, strain, and mix with honey. *Very* tasty and good for throat and tummy.

I can tell you what to stay away from. Any dairy products while you are ill. Sounds like you are headed towards a respiratory infection. Stay away from all dairy. Have plenty of water, and if you like it, ginger ale. Jello is great, and buy and take some zinc. You can get it in the form of lozenges, or pill form. If you decide to take vitamin C, you can not take it at the same time you take the zinc, it will just waste your money, because they cancel each other out. I am a firm believer in zinc.

Thanks Klynne. I didn't know that about the zinc and the Vit. C. Interesting. I'll go take some zinc right now.

ugh. I don't have time for this. I have a job to find and a party to plan.

Klynne · 08-06-2004, 12:47 AM

Well, I wish you luck, and I hope you feel better sweetie.
