What can I do to make myself feel better when I'm sick?

  • Rest quietly.
  • Drink plenty of fluids. Water, soup, and juice are good choices.
  • If your throat is sore, gargle with warm salt water.
  • If your nose is sore or stuffy, use salt-water nose drops from the drug store to ease tenderness and congestion.
  • Do not smoke. Stay away from others who smoke.
  • Do not drink any alcoholic beverages.
