Rest is the best medicine

Hi everyone, good morning. I am sure you had a good sleep last night. I didn't have enough sleep last night as I was on my way from 8 pm to 4 am. I slept about an hour only as the provided beds were fully taken, so I had to crash in a chair causing my neck to be strained. This evening I'm going to sleep early, so when I get up the next day I'll feel healthier free from neck strain. In addition to not having enough sleep, I'd also had a cough -- for the time being it is okay as long as it doesn't cause a headache and fever. How would you handle cough when it comes with fever?

First I used home remedies like Honey Ginger syrup and then have some herbal tea. if it doesn't work then go to the doctor

it's hard for me to sleep while traveling, so i need to sleep properly when i get home. for your cough, plenty of fluids, rest and medicine, if needed.

I am sorry you had a cough and fever. I usually get a cough medicine and milk with honey.

I hope it will be over soon. I'll be better after having enough sleep and follow what you usually do.

@yanzalong Traveling on the ferry during the night and not sleeping well surely does not help.

Warm milk with honey is always recommendable.

I love my sleep. Rest always helps when you feel unwell. Hope your cough goes away completely. I'd chew on some ginger and honey.

Usually I drink ginger water when I want to sleep but I don't, I just drink warm water and go to sleep.

@yanzalong Sounds like you had a horrible night sleep. If I had a cough and a fever I would see what I could take to ease but since I have an air purifier it helps me from coughing at night. The filter in it clears the air of bad things.

Sounds like a cold coming on...I eat a clove of pickled garlic and drink extra vitamin c to ward it off and stay warm. Take an early shower too before sundown is how I handle days like this. Take care and get well quickly and stay well.

True rest fies help the body to fight infection or restore your body. Trying to work sick will affect your body to fully fight sickness since the resources if your body is focused on other matters than trying to fix your body.

Stay in bed, keep warm, drink camomile tea and sleep as much as you can. Send someone to buy cough medicine for you.

It's awful when you get a stiff neck from trying to sleep in an uncomfortable position. I hope your cough is better now.
