DH has a really bad cold = may have to cancel our trip

Jacob came down with another cold - 2nd one in a month.  He's taking meds,  will call his dr. tomorrow and I'm praying he will get better by Wed. when we're supposed to be going on our mini trip to Disneyland.

I made him some chicken noddle soup tonight, hoping it will make him feel better.  I also had him take some Emergen-C.

Any suggestions on what I can give him that may help him get over it sooner than later?

  • Lots of fluids to help flush it and maybe if he has head and nasal congestion a neti pot? It totally helps me with my chronic symptoms so maybe it would help him. I hope he gets better so you can go and enjoy your trip!

  • zicam.

     

    it works for us to help shorten the length of a cold.

    hope he gets better soon.

    Thank you! I could never get him to do the nasal rinse.  It works for me too.

  • Oh no. DH and DS are both sick too.  I hope J feels better in time so we can still meet up in the most magical place on earth.
  • I'm sorry! I don't have any particular suggestion because it would depend on what is bothering him most. I hope he feels better soon!!
  • Thank you ladies, he just took some nyquil and went to bed. I moved into the spare bedroom last night so that I don't get it - crossing my fingers I don't because it wouldn't be a good thing.

  • They have nasal rinses that aren't netti pots. I found that netti pots are really uncomfortable. The sinus rinse in the bottle is easier.

    I second Zicam. My colds have definitely lasted a lot shorter since I started taking zinc.

  • Everyone is getting sick. I have a sinus infection and I logged onto my facebook and about five people said they were sick. 'Tis the season to get sick!

  • And vitamins! (unless that's already in zicam.)

  • thanks everyone! He is doing a little better today and I'm hoping that he'll be much better by Wed.

    He's taking meds, and vitamins, lots of liquids, and rest.
