What are some good at home remedies for a nasty cold?
Drink plenty of fluids, and try to get plenty of rest. Warm fluids especially. If you have a fever, keep warm. One good thing to do is try to break the fever by wrapping yourself in a ton of blankets and wearing plenty of clothing. You know the fever has broken by when you start sweating and start feeling temperature normally. If you can’t call in sick, see if you can leave early and have another teacher cover your class so you can go home and sleep. The best thing to do is sleep, drink plenty of warm fluids (drown it). Gatorade (funny, right?) and drinks like it will help retain electrolyte balances. Also, call up some friends and ask if they have some OTC cold medicine like DayQuil. Non-drowsy formulas ONLY if you’re going to have to work and drive. Also, while working remember to wash your hands constantly and always use tissues when you cough/sneeze. If you start having muscle aches, extreme fatigue, a worsening sore throat, and a fever over 101 DO NOT go into school. I’m sure pare
