About 3-4 weeks ago my boyfriend and I got sick, really bad colds. Anyhow we got better, but yesterday he got sick agian. I really dont want to get sick agian so soon but I want to take care of him, so chances are I might. Does anyone know of anything I could get over the counter that might help prevent me from getting sick? (He lieves here by himself so there is no one to take care of him, and he took real good care of me when i was sick)
Lastnight he said he had a fever of 102....he doesnt have insurance cause he just moved out here from New York. I wish I could get him to a doctor but he says its too expensive without insurance. I would take him to my doctor which isnt too expensive without insurance but my doctor is out of town for another week. Hopefully this morning he is feeling better, but he is probly still sleeping so i dont know.
I wish I could make him feel better. Thanks for any suggestions!
I really can't think of any medicines to help you not get sick, but take vitamin c , use lysol spray, that really seems to keep the germs down,also wash your hand frequently.But most of all no K-I-S-S-I-N-G !!!!
He probably caught another virus. You can wear one of those masks to avoid breathing any germs. If he has a sore throat, have him gargle warm salt water, the salt helps to shrink the swelling in his throat. Tylenol to bring the fever down. Cool towel on his head to help cool the fever too. Chicken soup really does help with colds. Doc said its one of the old remedies that really can help. The broth is whats good. Just get a can of broth and make some noodles, or eggs, veggies. Its really easy to make soup. Cambells soup sucks. Vitamin c, ecanatia(sp) is great for when you feel like you are stating to get sick. I know there is an over the counter cold allergy med you can buy, its supposed to knock it out fast. I've not used it. Maybe someone knows the name.
Aw, Syd!! You are too cute!! Taking care of him when he's sick, that's so sweet!! When you get married, you only take care of him 'cuz he won't stop whining to you about how much his throat hurts or how much his stomach hurts or something. LOL. Men are such whiner babies when it comes to not feeling like themselves!! They have no clue what we go thru with periods and such!! Am I right or am I right?? LOL
Try the vit. c and zinc but be careful with the zinc. Take it with a full stomach and a VERY little dose at a time. It messes with your stomach but works great to get over colds.
Thanks everyone...luckily he felt a lot better yesterday. I went over there with gallons of Oj and all sorts of medicenes. I also found this stuff called Airborne...everyone I know swears by it. It was developed by a teacher who was sick of getting sick all the time in class. Your suppose to take it at the first signs of a cold and right before you go to crowded places...I took a bunch yesterday and i gave him some, hopefully it works as well as everyone says it does.
Mollie....it is so true that guys are big babies when it come to being sick. I only take care of him b/c when i got sick he took really good care of me. So he deserves it. When he got sick the first time about a month ago he was REALLY sick but i didnt know just how sick he was. We had just met and I was going hiking with a friend and he came along. I think it almost killed him. When i got sick a week later I couldnt believe he went hiking with me when he was so sick. I asked him why did he go, and he said he wanted to be with me and impress me, since we had just kind of met. He is so cute!
Anyways he is feeling a lot better, we were planning on going to disneyland tomorow so hopefully he will feel well enough to go, if not its ok, Disneyland will always be there.
