I got sick Thursday, and have been coughing ever since, I missed school Thursday, but went Friday. I have been just laying around the house all today, eating junk food, and I’m worried that maybe my immune system is WAY down, I need my immune system getting better by Monday, any ways. This is just allergies, but I am still afraid. I’m a germaphobic btw!

Also do you think that I may catch something??

Bananas, Orange Juice, Yogurt. Light soda like sprite, but stir it so there’s no fizz.

You seem to have pooh-poohed the idea of chicken soup but it is actually supposed to boost yur immune system which is what you say you want. Also, as people have said, vitamin C.

You could also eat chicken soup, which really does have immune-boosting properties.

Edit: “your’ not “yur”

@Marina Jinx once more.

@janbb I owe you a coke. You got there first. Lurve.

@Marina And pancakes???

marinelife's avatar

@janbb I am afraid you will have to look elsewhere for those, but I will be happy to hope you find some.

Judi's avatar

Hey@jnabb and @Marina, you both owe me a coke. I said chicken soup first!

I tried vegetable soup tonight and I’m beginning to regret it.

Sorry, but there is no way to “boost your immune system” short of taking some really powerful medications. Chicken soup, while tasty, will have no effect. Neither will vitamin C. Some illnesses you just have to “ride out”.

janbb's avatar

Ah – the doctor has spoken. Nevertheless, I’ll give you a coke, Judi, for mentioning chicken soup first. (Even if it doesn’t boost your immune system, it is a good soothing thing to eat.)

marinelife's avatar

@Judi Too right. I looked up and saw that. I think we were both trying to backstop you in the face of the questioner’s apparent dismissal of your sage advice.

@Health_Remedies,
you do realize it’s against the guidelines to use this site for self promotion? I noticed a couple of places where you have linked to your website.

Health_Remedies's avatar

I am very sorry about that. I didn’t mean to break the rules. I will no longer leave links. I just like to answer questions.=) Thank you.

janbb's avatar

@Health_Remedies It’s o.k. to leave links but not to your own business. It takes a while to learn the rules. Thanks for understanding and welcome to Fluther!

imyourbffjess's avatar

@Health_Remedies Yes, I enjoyed the website that you showed me, but please do not sell me anything.

Day 6 (I think) on a liquid diet and I still feel like I swallowed a spiny softball. First day of classes so can’t stay home. < ; (
