Here's my routine for sickness!
Get more sleep so your body is able to recoop faster! No late nights, no drinking, no fast food...if you need to sacrifice the weekend~ do IT!
Take a lot of Vitamin C! It totally works! Helps your immune system and will help you if you take it daily from getting sick in the future (multi vitamins too)!
Hot tea with some honey is good! Or some hot chocolate! Nothing like milk or dairy though cuz that just coats your throat and makes it worse when you try to clear it!
At night, rub some menthalatim rub on your neck (I know~ stinky) and then wrap a hot towel around it (Or lay there with a hot wash cloth on top of it).
Drink lots of water ~ no pop/soda/cola
Night time medications are OKAY, but go for something that is specific to your problem. Don't get all knocked out by something for symptoms you DON'T have!!!
I hope you feel better in time for the hayrack ride!
PS. If your air is too dry (now that it's winter almost) buy a humidifyer which will help you when you sleep. It'll keep your nasal passages open so you won't have to breate through your mouth...or if you do, it won't be so dry (you get my point).
