i'm sick and need to feel better..by tomorrow.?

Question

i need to feel much better tomorrow because it's my friend's birthday dinner and i need to be there. over the course of the day i began feeling terrible. my head and sinuses hurt terribly, and i have a cough/sore throat. any advice for feeling much better by tomorrow? i can't take nyquil or anything that makes you drowsy because i doubt i'll get the chance to sleep 8 hours tonight.

thanks.

Answer 1

Drink lots of water, plug in a humidifier and try to get at least 8 hours of sleep. Try an over-the-counter decongestion like Mucinex. (That worked last time for me.) Lack of sleep will hurt your immune system and prevent you from getting better. If your sinuses are painful to the touch, have a fever, have yellowish-green phlegm, or if your symptoms continue for more than 2 weeks, then you probably have a sinus infection that will probably not go away until you get some antibiotics. Hope you feel better soon!
