Driving home feeling like crap… tips please

[Anonymous]

Currently at my in laws having caught whatever is going around right now (no fever, but miserable sinus pressure and congestion and cough). I literally feel like shit.

We’re cutting our trip short to not get the grandparents sick hopefully but I’m dreading the 5 hour car ride that awaits me. I’ve taken whatever medicine I have — Sudafed, ibuprofen, Zyrtec — but none of it is making a dent.

Help. Please. This is miserable,

(Luckily I don’t have to drive — my husband will — but who knows when it’s going to hit him)

You need to go take a flu test (cvs has) and if positive get tamiflu. Otherwise nothing else will help beyond rest and what you are already taking. Sorry, its rough.

Akla Seltzer Daytime or Nyquil Daytime. They have something in them that just lets you power through. Then plan for sleep OP. Good luck!

Mask up in the car.
Fill your water bottle. Stay hydrated.
Try to sleep as much as you can.

I’m sorry. It sucks to be sick.

If you didn’t have to show your driver’s license to buy your Sudafed, then it’s not the good kind. The good kind can make you feel loads better and it’s worth getting some.

It’s the good kind. I don’t buy the other junk. Still not making much of a difference this time around :/

I would NOT take that stuff in addition to the Sudafed and Zyrtek she already took!

If he’s not sick yet, leave right now, mask up in the car, and crack the windows. He will probably get hit sometime soon and better for everyone that you’re home when he starts to go downhill. Worry about the MinuteClinic/Tamiflu thing tomorrow. We had the not flu thing and it turns out it was Covid. From what I’m hearing from my friends with the flu, we got the better deal.

Claritin D will cure you. Ask the pharmacist for it at CVS.

Covid damages your body.

And reading DCUM damages your brain. I guess we’re all doomed.

Whatever you do stay hydrated. I got a UTI after getting dehydrated during a road trip with a bad cold. Stay hydrated!!
