DISCLAIMER: im not a professional, so if these don't work, don't shoot the messenger!
- So my first one, if you are taking the day off and staying at home, then jump into your pyjamas, fluffy socks, a blanket and get comfy!
- Next you grab your laptop or hog your TV remote, time for movies, online shopping, youtube and my personal favourite watch FRIENDS! (I did this all day today)
- Don't forget to drink plenty throughout the day, try to stay away from caffeine, (apparently that's bad when your ill) not going to lie I still had coffee!
- One thing that I tried today was a homemade lemon and honey drink, iv had lemsips in the past and they tasted awful and didn't work, but I thought I would give a homemade one a try! I still don't like the taste so I didn't drink much, but apparently this drink helps to relax the throat, which I noticed once a drank it, as well as kill of the bacteria in the throat! Also hot drinks help to relieve congestion in your nose! Ill put the recipe I made below
- Try and get as much sleep as possible and add extra pillows if you can this helps relieve congestion.
- Have a hot shower or bath, this helps relax your body as well as helping with congestion! If you get lightheaded then take a bath instead of a shower so your not standing!
- to help soothe your throat add a table spoon of salt to warm water and gargle for a few minutes.
- Also use either hot or cold compresses on your sinuses.
- Try to eat! So I don't know about you guys but when I don't feel well sometimes I don't have the biggest appetite, but its important to try and eat!
2 tablespoons of honey
juice of half a lemon
2 tablespoons of whisky
and fresh ginger that has been crushed up
a cup of hot water
I just mixed all of these together and drank it, slowly... very slowly!
don't forget it is not a good idea to add whisky if you are taking medication!
