veggieGuy Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Ok so I have flu and it's hitting my body HARD! I feel as if I was hit by a truck! Ways to treat your cold/flu symptomshttp://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/common/infections/cold-flu/073.html * Stay home and rest, especially while you have a fever. * Stop smoking and avoid secondhand smoke, which can make cold symptoms worse. * Drink plenty of fluids like water, fruit juices and clear soups. Fluids help loosen mucus. Fluids are also important if you have a fever because fever can dry up your body's fluids, which can lead to dehydration. * Don't drink alcohol. * Gargle with warm salt water a few times a day to relieve a sore throat. Throat sprays or lozenges may also help relieve the pain. * Use saline (salt water) nose drops to help loosen mucus and moisten the tender skin in your nose. Anyway my question is that I have a huge bag of oranges in the kitchen. Is it truly ok to eat them?Specially when as part of flu you get severe sore throat? Just wanted to check before I tuck into them I am drinking lot of soups/tea with crushed ginger inside. Any other things you guys can recommend? I think bottom line is that a flu has to run it's course and cannot be cured early. I was just wondering if the oranges would ease the pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
