It happens to us all from time to time – especially with kids in school; having the plague come (uninvited I might add) and setting up residence in the home. That has been the last few weeks of our life.
When the fever, congestion, and coughing really kicked in we turned to some standard fare to help get some relief. Hot shower and Vicks vapo-shower tablets that you drop in as you get into the shower and combine with the steam to help clear the sinuses first thing in the morning. Then started with the tea (I know, I know – goes against the Coffee mantra of CoffeeHouseCompute, but when you’re sick you sometimes gotta go without). Personally I’ve had a nostalgic spot for lemon- or raspberry-zinger type tea. Then all through the day had the good ol’ vapo-steam solution running in the steam vaporizer.
As I started to look for some comfort food to eat we did come across a new recipe for pastina that we’ll work on posting in the next few days.
