Need some quality suggestions, STAT! I'm sick!

[KillahBee]

So, I have motherfucking surgery on Friday and I've been sick since Monday (congested, sore throat, head a bit cloudy, body aches). If I don't get better by tomorrow afternoon, we will have to reschedule the surgery, which will set off a whole fucking world of issues for me.

What can I do to get better quick? Any hints, secrets? I know some of you country bumpkins have some homemade remedies that gramama passed down to you.

Obstacle 1: I can't take any medicine, herbal supps, or aspirin
Obstacle 2: I am on a liquid diet pre-surgery

Thanks for all suggestions!!!

I'd avoid OJ as it contains high levels of sugar which isn't what your immune system needs when you're full of cold.

Plenty of rest and stay warm. A hot drink containing lemon, cayenne, ginger, elderberry and garlic will help.

Thanks Jayc.

I called my surgeon and they want me to get checked out by a local gen pract. doc. Then they'll decide if we can do the surgery or not.

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vit. C tablets uber dosages boost immune system.

sleep is super important, and as much as I hate it when people tell me to stay away from dairy, it actually does seem to reduce the amount of mucous in my system when I'm sick

a few deep hits of quality 'erb will put the mind at ease

warm room, more food than usual (more liquid then) lots of rest. ie take the day off and sleep. drugs wouldnt really help at this point anyway, so its all about supporting your immune system as best as possible using food & rest

good luck mang
