hello everybody i know its not quite tournament season yet, but hey I’m still gonna do this! Because being sick is the worst thing ever, whether it be on a regular school week, or hell tournament week! i’m not a doctor but i do get sick a lot and it suuuucks
get some cepacol cough drops. the cherry kind tastes the least horrible. they’re medicated and pretty good for numbing
go to a walgreens/CVS/your doctor and get a strep throat test if it persists. strep throat can be treated differently than just a regular old sore throat
drink as much fluids as humanly possible. water especially, but gatorade, whatever. just not dairy
drink tea! my favorite combo is back Lipton tea with a ton of honey in it. Honey has magical powers or something like that and tea does too. Plus the hotness of it gets all the glunky stuff off of your throat
run a humidifier in your room when you sleep, it will put more moisture in the air so if you sleep with your mouth open, it won’t be so harmful
tissues. oh boy. first off, get some packs of mini-tissues to take everywhere. i mean everywhere. there’s nothing worse than being in like the grocery store and your nose starts dripping
get the puffs lotiony tissues so your nose doesn’t get red and dry from blowing your nose. they will save your life
on that note, if your nose does get red and irritated from repeated blowing, put some Vaseline on it and take it easy
medication: just get the pharmacy brand they work just as good. taking allergy medication works even if what you have isn’t allergies.Â
drink!!!!! water!!!!!! drink so much water. drrriiiinkkkk waaaaterrrrr
make sure your thermometer works, write down temperature
fever can combine with a lot of other sicknesses so be careful
if your fever lasts longer than a couple days, GO TO THE DOCTOR. NO EXCUSES
make some soup. boy oh boy do i love chicken noodle soup. my favorite store brand is Ms. Grass’ (it comes in a 2 pack blue box) or its super easy to make yourself. plus it smells realllly good when you’re making it.
go to bed early. take naps. get as much sleep as humanly possible
when you are done being sick, make sure to change your sheets, and clean your toothbrush (put it in some boiling water for like 30 seconds)
hot showers are your best friend
when you’re coming up on a tournament, don’t do stupid stuff like stay up all night or drink/eat other people’s food
if you feel bad, don’t go to school!!!!
hand sanitize or wash your hands after doing everything
on that note, clorox wipe your entire house down
there’s this medicine/supplement/magic stuff called Airborne. it tastes so bad, but its like an immune helper? take some before any situation where you don’t wanna get sick. take it while you’re sick too. it comes in chewy tablets and dissolvable
