I usually get over colds/flus pretty quickly. I remember being on the road in Ohio and suddenly coming down with an INCREDIBLE fever. So I checked into a motel room, bought a large bag of oranges and lots of cans of soup and chili. By the next day I was feeling a lot better and within 3 days I was good to go. Try drinking fresh squeezed OJ, chicken noodle soup, and chili con carne with Tabasco sauce. I find this stuff works a LOT better than cold medicine.
So that's where I went wrong... I left out the chili with tobasco sauce...
