I need some help, i have a cold ....?!


Question:

I need some help, i have a cold ....?

And i have the worse fever i have ever had. Im sweating day and night.....what can i do to reduce my fever? I'm taking what the pharmacists suggested and its helped a little bit but honestly im NOT HAPPY... i shower two times a day and wash all my bedding thats how sweaty i am....My throat is raw ..and im trying to avoid coughing because i know that bothers the throat even more. i have been running this fever for 2 days now....when should i expect this to end? Besides alot of rest what else can i do to shorten my cold?


Answers:

You know I am pretty good at this stuff.

Sip on chicken noodle soup
Sip on lemon water or suck on a lemon with salt.

Chicken soup has an ingredient that actually deters cold symptoms + it is also soothing and filling.

Lemon is a natural expectorant. It has dextros in it and it is the only food source that does have it. That is where they get the Dextrum-athor-ifan that comes in cold meds.

Might consider using some Tee Tree oil from the drug store or health food store. It is concentrated so very little is needed.
Warm water in a cup and a couple of drops to gargle and swish in your mouth. Do not swallow. It smells like a camphor, but baby it is strong and a natural antibiotic.

Gargeling with warm salt water is good to kill germs in the throat. Aspirin is good to help reduce fever.
Also keep some cold packs on your wrist. Your body reduces the temps drastically fast when you compress ice on them.

I am a big fan of doing Zinc tablets daily if I think about it. Zinc will kill all kinds of bacterias in the body that is not needed. I have not had the flu or a bad cold for about 3 yrs. now. Plus Zinc gives you energy.

If all fails, consider going in to a clinic and get some antibiotics to help cure your ailments. Rest and plenty of liquids are the best friend you have.
AGAIN: Ice on your wrist is the best advice to keep the sweats down. You might not be any better, but you will be more comfortable anyway.
Sniff some mixed salt water in the palm of your hand to help kill and break up the mucus infection in the sinus cavities....not a whole lot but just a bit of each will do. Hope this helps you sweetie. I will be watching to see you visit so that we can get it together man. Take care sweetie, I always enjoy visiting!
