Sick,literally 😷 🤒 🤢

in General Discussion

I'm not here to complain.

I'm here to ask,what healing methods do you Covers believe in?

Think I'm feeling better,but as yesterday,at work,I end up with running/stuff nose,and cough from time to time.I think i have fever,which made take about a week to fully heal up from.

So I am on forum to ask:If there's anything you use that's natural???Or modern medicine???Anything that heals a fever I'm completely strap for money,so not like I can go to doctor right this second and see whats going on with me.....

Also, a cure for many rejection burns would highly be appreciated,since I have been rejected alot this week,and almost had one job in bag,only to fell out of tote onto Wolfenhampton England!!!!!!!

Grateful i have 3 job interviews tomorrow and 1 on Friday,so wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wishing you the best of luck with the job interviews. I always tell my students to keep putting irons on the fire. Do your best with each one and you will get something because of your persistence. As far as remedies go, I think the other Covers gave you some good ones. I am also a big fan of apple cider vinegar. My daughter dilutes one TBSP with a cup of water and uses it as a gargle. I will do the gargle and then take 1 tsp straight. It's an experience but it has helped me 100% of the time. Also good is to take a tea or tincture of Echinacea (but that works best when you first start feeling unwell).

Hope you feel better soon, Bendy! And best of luck with your job interviews. For sore throats, I would suggest a (disgusting yet effective) concoction of ginger, honey and lemon. Grate some ginger into a small bowl, squeeze some lemon juice in and add honey. Make a paste, and take a spoonful every couple of hours. It's best to start taking it just as you feel a throat infection coming on.

@Shen Friebe Thank you for this recipe.

Feeling somewhat better,taken this entire week to monitor my health.

Last thing I want is for anyone to be sick,especially when pandemic hasn't fully been clear yet.

I wish you luck Bendy on your interviews!

I'm no doctor, so I don't feel comfortable giving out medical advice, but I found this information flyer on WebMD, which is a trusted source of information I discovered from a licensed nurse practitioner.

My remedy is watch comedy movies. Won't cure you but will help you heal faster.

Good luck with the interviews. Make sure you know lots about your potential employer
