Be smart - Don't share drinks or eat from your friend's chip bag, make sure you wash your hands before you touch anything that goes in your mouth. Eat LOTS of green, leafy veggies, broccoli, sweet red peppers and oranges for Vitamin C, and take a multi-vitamin daily. Drink lots of water and blow your own nose to clear out any latent germs, when you've been around coughing/sneezing people.
I blow my friends noses... is that not okay?
i wish this was started about a week ago before i got sick -_-
basically, dress warm, wash yo' hands frequently, sleep and lots of it, fluids fluids and more fluids, and do not forget about the orange juice, chicken soup, and vicks cough drops
oh yeah tissues on hand at all times!
Me and my daughter rarely get sick which is good. Even the little things as mentioned above may help. I sure hate the feeling though. I had a scare this weekend. It wasn't like the kind of sick y'all are talking about but I'll still share me story..
So I picked my child up from her dads and was rushing to practice on Sunday.. Right when she got in the car he was like oh yeah I think she has chicken pox.. Practice was 2hrs away and if I stopped to investigate we would be late (he isn't the smartest).
So I drove there and then called him and was like why do you say chicken pox and he said,
She has bumps on the back of her neck, ankles, and arms.
So I look and she does, I'm like wow I never got chicken pox when I was little and I don't want them now.
However those bumps didn't look like the ones I googled so I let her practice since it didn't look like chicken pox to me!
I was thinking if she has this and gives it to any of the other 24 mini's with 2 weeks left till competition the owner will kill me.
Luckily later I found out it was a heat rash.. I was relieved!!
I have luckily already had chicken pox when I was younger so I thought I didnt have to worry about it, that was until my sister go shingles. I literally didnt go near her for a month. I refused to share a bathroom with her and forced her to move into our guest room.
LOL! Shingles isn't contagious to people who had chicken pox as a child. Shingles is contagious to people who have never been immunized for or had chicken pox. Shingles is a reactivation of dormant varicella zoster (the virus that causes chicken pox and shingles) in the body. After you have chicken pox the virus goes dormant in your body, and reappears sometimes after periods of great stress, being immunocompromised, or sometimes just comes back. If someone with shingles is around a person who is not immune to varicella zoster the non-immune person can get chicken pox. Since you already had the pox as a child, you would have been fine. Though, having a sibling myself, sometimes it was fun to treat them like a leper when they are sick and get a little teasing in, lol.
And that kids was your fun health fact for the day
