Do you let a heavy cold get u down?

[Lamp]

How do you deal with a heavy cold? You know the type - everything short of the flu - rivers of snot, sneezing all the time, no sense of taste or smell, headachy, lethargic, feel like poo

Cool answer: If i feel ill, i concentrate and be awesome instead.


Real answer: Well, if i'm in a fever, i eat a lot of meat, chicken, etc. If i'm not, and still got sniffles or whatnot the "girls" call a flu symptom, i starve as much as possible.

Feed the fever, starve the cold.

If i can't be arsed, i don't go to work, but most likely will if it's not effecting my thinking.

If i think it might spread, stay home.

Oh and sine you posted the poll, go see my doctor if it persists. She's hot

Simple formula:

no fever = go to work
fever = call in sick

i was always told its feed a cold starve a fever lol.

anyhoo if i can i go in, if im contageous or physically can't move i dont.

I bloody well hate people who cough and sneeze all over the place and go "im ill but i never take a day off sick!" ...no ya bastard you just foul up everyone elses sick records!

Someone told me at school that if you sit next to someone who is feeling fine, the best thing is to cough in their face a few time. The cold virus will detect a healthy vessel and move ship, leaving you well, and them with the lurgy

It's just a basic thing of giving protein and stuff to the things(fever, your body fighting back) kicking the flus arse.

When you've got the sniffles, you're just giving the bandits some tummy medicine

Because some arse in the BMA said it's best to take nothing, I end up ill for two weeks - nice!

Next time, it's paracetamol and antibiotics for me, and I don't care about the cost to the NHS. Done 9 years without it but getting too old now for that crap to be knocked out of work for a week or so just because the BMA say it's good. Bollocks!

i always thought they were rubbish meself but maybe they have improved them?

antibiotics wont do anything to a flu or cold as they are viruses not bacteria

better off staying warm, and eating and drinking lots

 

[Ezteq]

thats drinking lots of NON alcaholic stuff btw kids.

I'd rather dope myself up than have to stay in bed for two weeks, and there are flu jabs these days for us old zimmer laden twits

 

[fettoken]

I kill the cold with whiskey and tabasco every morning and night. Easy peasy..

 

[Lamp]

lol in bed for 2 weeks - that must be the mother of all flu

 

[Chronictank]

go work anyway
if i get sent home sick i get to play computer games all day guilt free

 

[Huntingtons]

when i went to highschool i usually went to school no matter how sick i was. to much absence early year so i couldnt take any days off =(

 

[Overdriven]

Load up on narcotics then deal with it.

 

[sayward]

Until Christmas I would have said I never get ill! Now I agree with something I read. 'If you think you have the flu, you have a cold. If you think you are dying, you have the flu.' I literally could not move about.

 

[Olgaline]

work is work,
the days of school sick days are long gone.
fever you stay home and work from home, if your to sick for that, chances are you need a doctor and a hospital!
