Behold my cold and flu survival kit: lots of warm tea with lots of honey and lemon to balance the way too huge amount of sweet honey.
But honey contains natural antibiotics, and that’s exactly what I need to battle this cold or flu. Monday I was soaking wet going out shopping on my bike, so maybe that’s where I got this cold or flu from. No need to see a doctor yet when you don’t need a leave of absence from your job. But be warned: if you take good care of yourself and your cold or flu is still around after 1 week, you better go and see a doctor!
Cold and flu survival kit tips and tricks
- consume lots of organic honey, as it contains lots of antibiotics
- sleep as much as you can
- make sure your room gets ventilation, to "sweep out" the germs. Of course don’t start ventilating when you are inside the room unless it’s a warm day.
- eat lots of organic chicken soup with rice. Grandma’s recipe for any minor ailment
- if you don’t have a headache, do not take paracetamol so your body can react the proper way with fever. Fever makes your body temperature so high that the germs can’t survive anymore. Of course, when your temperature rises too much, you should go and see a doctor on the spot.
Cold and flu medication survival kit
If you want to feel as good as possible when having a flu, you can self-medicate yourself with:
- painkillers:
- paracetamol is much more friendly to your stomach than Aspirin.
- if you have a very bad headache or you have muscle ache, I always take ibuprofen
- pseudo-ephedrine relieves congestion in the sinus. The side effects however are a very restless sleep.
- Coughing… You cough to get things out of your body that shouldn’t be in there. To help those things get our of your body faster, you need an expectorant.
But…
…when at night your coughing keeps you awake, you better suppress it with… drumroll… a suppressant.
So if you only take a suppressant, you need to know you are keeping "the bad stuff" longer in your body than without using the medicine.
