how to deal with being sick and working

[stina_rina]

I have flu and everything hurts..anyone have advice..

[stina_rina]

Ya I left work early..just feel like a flake because its a temp to permanent job at costco in the food court..and I went to the dr. But they cant do anything.

My advice? Call the dr and stay home.  No one else at your office or place of work wants the flu and its not fair to you your baby or your co-workers for you to go in.

I have been sick on and off through out my pregnancy and what helped me was vicks vaporub. I used it when I was sick and I felt better every time. If you dont like the feel of it on your chest try placing it on the bottoms of your feet and wear thick socks. In know it sounds weird, but  It does help. Also if your congested use a netti pot. You will sneeze like crazy after but it clears a lot of gunk out amd it wont creep into your lungs.

You shouldn't be working. Have you seen the doc? Get plenty of rest & stay hydrated. One of my coworkers told me to eat some beef pho and try to make it spicy to "sweat" it out. Believe it or not I felt better after. Good luck
