Sis is sick after 3 years T-T

hello. the common cold virus continually mutates so when there's a new strain, symptoms might take longer to go away since the body takes some time to read the genetic code to produce the right antibody. Yes ginger is good, also do not forget to take vitamin c or food rich in it to build body resistance, also avoid sudden and extreme changes in temperature. Oh I seldom get sick ( knock on wood )Get well

Hiya TG, Tummy bugs at this time of year are the most common thing that go around here and with the very hot Weather which lasts for Days on end as well. Not many Colds really although you can catch chills from the Air Conditioning they have. One place I go into feels blessedly like the North Pole its so nice and cool in there I just don´t want to come out (grin). Knocking on wood as well not too many Colds as yet. I have had a few sniffs and they went quite quickly as well. Hope you both get better soon.xxx

Hi thatgirl! I'm not very sickly but I do get sick once in a while. Usually I have allergy attacks when I eat something bad. I think I had a cold just recently when the weather was changing so abruptly, from cold to hot, from hot to cold. It's always like that. I do get a cold, too during the hot season, even cough! And it's really annoying because I feel so uncomfortable in a warm weather! I get sweaty and I feel like it worsens the cold or cough. What I usually do is just rest and keep myself cool. I don't think anything hot because I don't like it.^^ Well, except in the morning when I drink coffee or milk.

Hi girl! Hope you will get recovered soon! For me myself, I know that I can get a cough or cold two times in every year. Like once for each semester!(^^) But whenever I have them I never see the doctor and let it cured by themselves. It always take a week for me to get recover from the sickness.

Oh, I got chicken pox 2 months back. Does that count? I hope everyone in your house will get well soon. Will keep you all in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

a common cold has long defied treatment.the flu virus evolution is very fast.i usually get better in a few days. it depends on one's immune system. if you can do some exercise, sick will go quickly.

Well until the Cold I had about a month ago that lasted me around 3 weeks, I had not really had a cold in a couple of yrs. which was nice. I have a lot of other Health issues going on at this time that might have not helped in preventing the cold. But if I can get things back on track hopefully it will be a couple more years before I suffer again with a Bad cold as well.

Keep drinking the tea, eat a little but often and rest so your body can fight the germs. You need to wrap up warm and sweat can help with aches and ppains. A cold only lasts a few days if you rest. Hope you feel better soon.

Ah yes, the family cold. We pass those around every year, usually starting with the kids. I've found that if I start drinking hot green tea as soon as I feel the first symptoms, the cold goes away a lot faster and usually without the need for any other medications (other than my daily allergy pill.) I don't care if it is hot outside - I'm drinking that green tea hot! The heat helps to suppress coughs and the green tea helps kill the cold.

The longest I have ever went without being sick is probably a year. I tend to get sick easily. I don't know why. Once someone catches a cold or any type of sickness and I am around them I will get sick and catch what they have.

I have not gone long without being sick. Usually every December or January I end up getting bronchitis, pneumonia, strep or the flu. This last year I had bronchitis then it turned into to pneumonia. I was sick for about three months it was awful. I would start to get better and then I would get sick all over again and the cough just lingered forever. I am going to get the flu and pneumonia shots this year I don't want to go through that again. I hope you and your sister get better soon.

Hi thatgirl! A year ago I was going through something where I was sick for days at a time, then I would get better for a day or two and sick again for days again. This went on for a full year and I could not take it and did not understand why I was always so sick with flue and fever. Though all test revealed nothing serious it went on for a very long time a full year actually. So finally in I was relieved of whatever it was and happy about it, then I went to Arkansas this month and got bronchitis on way there. I was sick for a full two weeks but much better now. Though am still a bit congested, I do feel fine, I am hoping I do not start the whole last year being sick again.

I can still remember last April of this year I was sick. My throat aches. Got colds and fever at the same time. My family and I just came home from a week vacation and by the time we arrived at our house, 2 days after my two daughters and I were sick. I think we were exhausted from the trip because it was too far and was stressful. We had our anti-bacterial medicines taken and paracetamol also. Good thing we were relief after taking the medicine.

so, ARE you feeling better now?

I'm sorry you guys are all sick. I went almost 2 years without getting too sick, and then last fall I got a cold followed by another one shortly after.

I catch a cold sometimes but not often times. I can say that I am healthy and never get sick seriously. Well, I guess my immune system is a bit stronger.^^ I am more emotionally sick than physically sick.^^ But I always take care of my health. I do not eat a lot of unhealthy food and I try hard to exercise everyday. I just pray always that i will not get sick because i have to work and make money for my family.

I don't think I have been sick for about 3 years now. I hope it lasts! Summer colds are the worst, drinking hot drinks and having a fever when you are hot already. I get plenty of sleep and try to eat healthy so my immune system should be pretty good. It probably also helps that I am not around too many people. Hope you feel better soon!

I am facing the same problem because weather is not good. I cant tolerate the rainy season and I wear the sweater at night otherwise I cant sleep. My nose is continuously flowing. Due to this my eyes is also paining but tomorrow I will be out of station so I am using mylot till late night today.

that girl - question should be reversed. Most of the days i have cold. i am an asthmatic. Rarely i remain without botherations. but with all that things have got to be done. glad to know ur sister was not getting sick for a long time. good. she is having cold. Give her cold tablets like cetrizine.

I haven't been sick too for quite some time (knock on wood I don't wanna get sick) But I did had some skin allergy at spring and I had all those big rashes all over me. It happens every year when spring arrives. Other than that, thank God I've been healthy.
