New Tips for the Summer Cold/Flu with General Complaing

1. Symptoms: dry, nagging, cough, running nose, chills (in a heat wave (3 days of 90 plus temperatures- the type of chills that give one goosebumps), fever, general malaise, exhaustion, inability to think clearly. Consult your physician.

2. Go nowhere, hope you have a friend who can deliver tissue. Be kind to co-workers and friends do not spread the wealth.

3. Honey works, teaspoon with tea, helps with dry cough, sore throat. Also vitamin C supplements help - a bit - nothing however will replace the anti-biotic if one's prone to developing bronchitis - (See Consult physician)

4. Wait it out – on hand, chicken soup, juice, water (lots of water!), crackers - again, if one is near hallucinating get a doctor.

The good news

One cannot smoke

The bad news

Loss of time at work resulting in lost vacation and/or personal time - is not how one wanted to spend one’s vacation days!
