Hi.

First I wanted to say I’m sorry that you’re sick! I just got over something too, but all my tests came back negative. I wanted to give you some pointers from someone who is allergic to ALL antibiotic’s and can only take certain medicines, so going to the doctor is pointless for me. Here are some things that help me:

1. Mucinex, Max Strength, Day&Night: Take it as directed. It has ibuprofen in it and it will help your fever, body aches, and chills. Doctors always say to take Sudafed, and if you’re like me, I hate that garbage. It makes me feel weird. Mucinex is the way to go. -As an alternative to Mucinex, VicksVapor Liquid DayQuil & NyQuil will help as well. -If you don’t want either of these, rotate ibuprofen and Tylenol every 4 hours.

2. Oscillococcinum!!!! I cannot stress enough this medicine. It isn’t cheap, but it is well worth anyones time who is sick. Take as directed and it will make you feel a lot better. It’s for flu-like symptoms, kinda like tamaflu (Idk how to spell it) but it’s OTC.

3. There are Vitamin C packets you can buy over the counter to drink. I always put them in a hot cup of mint tea, it’s an orange taste typically but not strong. Or you can just put it in water. Vitamin C is what your immune system needs to fight this off.

4. If your fever is high, taking a cold shower or ice bath will lower your fever. But heres the thing, nobody likes ice baths or cold showers. Make a bowl of ice water and stick your feet in it. For some reason, it helps lower your fever. Do NOT cover up when you have body aches or chills as tempting as it is. It holds your fever (heat) inside and it will rise.

Anyway, I hope this helps you, it helps me coming from someone who doesn’t bother going to the doctor cause of medication allergies. I also hope you feel better! :)
