Should I go Home?? Or do I deal with it?

f*ck it I am going home, I don't even need you guys to answer this one...

You're sick. Go home before you infect others. That should be what your office wants you to do.

Here, have some soup.

You go girl!!
B*gger what your colleagues think.If your ill your ill, dont feel bad about leaving work.

I just feel bad, because we use a headset at work.. and whoever covers for me will be getting sick because I don't know where the disinfectant is...

I just have a few more things i have to do and then I will tell them that I am leaving

You know.. I never knew a nose could leak this much... even after all the damn blowing in the world..

That's probably why it's leaking.

Better curtail your evening activities.

Anyone have anytips for me to get better before my date 2morrow??

Take paracetamol.
Drink Orange juice.

I dont have a headset but we have 4 mobile phones that we all use and they gt passed round.If one person has a cold its not long before we all have it!

Er... See a doctor? Get some Rx meds? Sleep? Drink fluids? Eat soup and crackers? Hot tea?

Seeing a doctor would do nothing.. they would just tell me to go home and rest... ugh

Right. Forget the doctor. Can you take zinc. It helps, but not soon enought for the date, of course

I have been drinking plenty of OJ... and those yummy halls defense things... plus menthol cough drops...

I don't have a sore throat and I barely have a cough.... no sinus headache or nothing.. just a stuffy stuffy runny runny nose.... and a grumpy attitude due to my lack of sleep last night because I couldn't breathe

Make sure there isn't zinc in your drops. It counteracts the effectivness of vitamin c and vice versa.

nope no zinc in the others.. but is it good for your body to have alot of vitamin c in it??

From what I've read, you can take all the Vitamin C you like, and the worst that'll happen is diarrhea. Your body just gets rid of Vitamin C it doesn't need.

Lotsa people do stuff for colds.... my brother swears by the "sweat" trick, that is, get as sweaty as possible, either through exercise or heat.

Personally I like a hot bath, followed by inhaling steam from a bowl with a towel over my head. You can put just about any kind of herbs in the bowl, from pine needles to chamomile.

Echinacea is a readily available herb that some people claim gets rid of a cold overnight. Easy enough to take in capsule form.

Many herbal teas will help, again the steam seems to be part of the cure.

Usually if I have a big date coming up I just get a big zit on the end of my nose.
