Have a nasty little cold

I have a nasty little cold!

What things do you like to do to make yourself feel better, physically or emotionally?

It started last evening with a VERY sore sore throat, then progressed overnight to a fever breaking while in bed (yuck), then this morning the nose started getting involved, and the sore throat turned more raspy irritated, not really SORE. No fever at all today, so that's good. Just super stuffy/runny (how can you be both at the same time... ) and raspy now. And wanting to feel better!

I stayed home from work today... if I feel better I'll go in tomorrow, but if I'm still feeling the same I'll stay home again. Just looking for some tips!

Around here we like to drink gallons of hot peppermint tea, and watch Harry Potter movies. Hope you feel better soon!

Sounds like what I have been fighting. It started on Saturday the 20th with a sore throat, sinuses, and fever. By Sunday the fever had broken and stayed away but I went to urgent care anyway (mom is on chemo so I needed to make sure it wasn't the flu). Negative flu and strep. I was put on a Z pack (due to the chemo thing) and told to just wait it out. I still have some sinus issues (stuffy nose and drainage) and a slight cough.

The only thing that did ANYTHING for me was Mucinex DM Max, Alka Seltzer Cold and Cough, and Ricola Dual Action Cough Drops. Then adding Ibuprofen PM at night to help me sleep.

This sounds exactly like what I'm fighting. My doctor finally put me on the z pack but even after that I'm still getting a little chest congestion. Ive been taking store brand cold/flu medicine, Flonase, and drinking plenty of liquids. I hope you feel better soon!
