Gatorade makes me feel better every single time, for some reason! And when I'm sick to my stomach, chicken noodle soup is usually one of the only things that doesn't sound disgusting. Also, just plain resting and moving as little as possibly always helps me. And definitely take advil if you're in pain!
Excedrin is the only thing I use for headaches. It's a godsend.
Try to drink a lot of juices and things too. That really helps. And yes, take medicine for your head, that's what it was invented for!
Thanks! I have heard that about gatorade. I tried to drink a glass of water but it took me like 3 hrs bc it tastes disgusting to me right now (weird bc water is generally the only thing i drink). Just trying to make a list before I venture out to cvs.
In terms of eating, some of the best remedies for upset stomach are gingerale and soda crackers. They are so easy on the digestive tract.
For the headache, why suffer? I say take an ibuprofen (Advil). I find it is one of the best headache remedies. Also, lying down and putting something cool (like a cool facecloth) on your forehead can help with a headache too.
If it gets really bad, I take a nap. That usually clears things up for me. I can't/don't take anything for headaches, because nothing ever works. But usually a good nap will set things straight.
Make sure you eat something small with the medication. It breaks down in your stomach and isn't going to feel very good if you're battling nausea also. NSAIDs are terrible on the tummy - but ibuprofen is the best in combating headaches. If your headache is a little more serious, I would suggest getting ibuprofen with a caffiene additive (Excedrin Migraine, etc.)
For stomach sickness, I do gatorade or ginger ale and potato chips.
If you are nauseous, that is a different story.
Boo, I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. I usually just drink a ton of water and sleep as much as I can.
I feel the exact same way right now:( the Only thing that really helps me at this point is gatorade and tylenol and rest. Hope you feel well soon.
I sleep a lot if I can. Usually some whole wheat crackers and Laughing Cow cheese go down nicely on an upset stomach.
Excedrine for headaches works every time! Although, it has caffiene in it, and I don't usually drink coffee, so when I take it, it makes me jittery! But it's better than headachey, right?
As for the stomach ache, out of soup, crackers, toast, etc., whatever sounds appealing, eat that to settle your stomach. Gatorade never worked for me, I always drank ginger ale. I know that as a natural suuplement ginger is supposed to aid with nausea, so I'm wondering ginger ale contains actual ginger and that's why everyone drinks it when they're sick? Hmmm.
Ginger ale always calms my stomach, or a coke. Plus, the caffeine from a coke will help a headache. I wouldn't take Advil while you have an upset tummy, it might aggravate it. Stick to tylenol and just REST. Best thing you can do.
Regular coke always helps me when I have those symptoms. Coke syrup is good for upset stomachs. I also usually eat a little extra than usual to keep my blood sugar up. Also I take 3 advil, 4 if I'm keeling over and want to die. My doctor totally supported the 3 to 4 advil thing and I can't see her objecting to the rest especially if it isn't everyday. Good luck and feel better! Also maybe schedule in some extra sleep! You might just be run down.
Thanks all! I got some vitamin water and gaterade, chicken noodle soup, crackers, applesauce, and advil. This afternoon I took some advil and had some vitamin water but I couldn't eat anything. Took a nap for a bit, woke up feeling a bit better and had soup for dinner. Now feeling much better so I'm definitely on the mend. Thanks so much for the advice! Next time I'll grab some coke-- I love it but I never buy it because of calories so sick would be a good excuse heh.

I'm a bit under the weather today... headache and sick to my stomach. No high fever, no cough, etc. I am almost never sick so I'm always unprepared.... What is good for me? gatorade? chicken noodle soup? do I take advil or tough out the headache? A little silly that I don't know this at 25 but it shows how rarely I've had to deal with it!
