I’m so sick and dont have ins right now im trying to figure out what i have so i can buy some over the counter meds. i woke today with a tight chest and cough. i have a fever of 101.2 and i have a sore throat that comes and goes. any suggestions will be appreciated.
Answer:
acetaminophen (tylenol) to lower your fever and for discomfort + the sleeping agent is actually diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl, which would help you sleep and dry up whatever is sliding down the back of your throat giving you a cough and sore throat.
Make sure to look for acetaminophen & diphenhydramine though, not pseudoephedrine or some other.
Also, I would drink distilled water, take 500 MG of “C” each hour, suck on Zinc lozenges (Max 99 MG. A day). I’d do fresh lemon squeezed in fresh water 1St. Thing in the morning. Make home made chicken soup with lots of fresh veggies, eat fresh fruit all day long. I’d stay away from sugar! Get plenty of rest and watch some movies. And, oh shower daily, change sheets on bed!
You might as well wanna try Advil Cold & Flu, the liquid capsules seem to be more effective. Steeping raw ginger in boiling water and drinking the ‘tea’ is I find very soothing for a sore throat.
The BEST thing you can do is stay home and don’t run around.
Good luck!!
