What always helps me feel better ... Some vicks vapor rub, actually lots of it ... And a really, really hot steaming shower .... Then after 5 minutes of just standing in the hot downpour, breathing in the vapors, I give myself a cool rinse and then dress warmly and have a cup of tea. <--- you can put the shot of whiskey in said tea ... Or lots of honey and lemon.
Doesn't cure it by any means, but I sure do feel better afterwards. Then, take a big nap! Another thing to clear the sinuses ... If you can stand eating them and not feeling good, is shrimp slathered in really, really strong cocktail sauce with huge hunks of horseradish. Eaten with crackers it's a yummy meal when sick. Another thing is matzoh ball soup with lots of chunky chicken pieces ... Or chicken noodle soup. The good stuff, homemade, not that watery stuff from a can. *** huggles to sick Gel-ly *** Hope you feel better soon.
