Hello..

So I caught the flu that's going around right after Christmas and still have this congestion hanging around. Its going on Three weeks for me and yes I did have the flu shot and pnuemonia shot and I still got it. I can't take medicine that helps get rid of the mucus except like Robitussin so do have any suggestions on how to over this flu bug?

put about a half cup honey and a quarter cup lemon warm it,and drink it down,don't make it to hot the honey will crystalize,also onions,and black pepper are good to stop coughs,that's the reason mom's chicken soup was so good for you,it's the onions and black pepper.

I don't take many otc meds either, too many problems for too little relief.

Have you tried a netipot?

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

Green tea with raw honey. Not the stuff you get at the grocery store because it's been processed enough to lose most of the good stuff, find local raw honey.

Avoid dairy, it makes the mucous worse. And sugar is bad when you're fighting something. Ok, sugar is bad all the time, but it's worse when you're sick :o)

And sleep!!! We all get impatient to be healthy again and it's easy to overdo it.

Feel better soon!
