I am currently writing this from the couch, sick once again. I literally have been sick 8 out of the last 10 weeks and it’s exhausting. Today I thought I’d share some of my sick day essentials that help make these days on the couch a little better!
Meds. This includes prescription meds from your doctor and over the counter ones. Meds are LIFESAVERS. Nyquil, mucinex, and Claritin are the bomb.com.
Apple Juice. I’m no doctor but I know it’s super important to stay hydrated, especially when you’re sick. My go-to sick drink is apple juice mixed with diet 7Up.
Nose Spray. Mine happens to be prescription, but I know they make over the counter nose sprays that work really well too. At first I thought it was super gross to spray something up your nose, but it really helps. I get sinus infections frequently and my nasal spray is one of the only things that gives me some relief.
Kleenex. For when you need somewhere to put all that snot…
Fuzzy Socks are a necessity. Cold feet make you feel so much worse!
Soup. Tastes good, probably won’t make you throw up. Might even soothe your sore throat. My faves are cheesy potato and broccoli cheese.
Fuzzy Blankets. Staying warm is a must!
Vick’s Vapo Rub. I was skeptical of this at first, but it seriously helps! I put some of this on my chest when I’m congested and the minty scent helps clear my congestion right out.
Netflix. Need I say more?
What are your sick day essentials?
