Is it starve a cold and feed a fever, or other way around?
And if you have a cold _with_ fever, should you binge and purge?
Not as funny as the one that stopped me last night. :)
Sturgeon may be gone, but his law lives on.
(And again I hope you are feeling better today than yesterday and
keep improving . . . )
In either case, if you're not a vegetarian, chicken broth is decent stuff.
And if you are a humanitarian? Or a veterinarian?
Having chunks of chicken, plus other stuff such as rice or noodles
or various vegetables isn't a bad thing.
OTOH with some chunky soups it can be hard to tell if this is the
first or second intake pass . . .
(I think the "starve a fever" went out at some point;
I didn't write that. I was just trying for a response to it. And at
the time I realized that it wasn't one of my best ones.
if you're sick, eat what you can to keep up your strength. If
you're having gastrointestinal issues, try just a BRAT diet
Ice cream, candy, soda, and pizza? Or anything with enough sugar to
turn a normally well-behaved kid into a BRAT?
until you're doing better. If you're vomiting, be very easy on your stomach,
F'r instance, don't read list mail?
and if the vomiting doesn't start getting better before you're
approaching problematic dehydration, get some meds for it. I
personally like promethazine; in an IV, it puts me out fairly
soundly, and if I'm in a situation where I'm already on an IV,
sleeping probably is beneficial.
Yeah, but your recent experience is hopefully relatively rare.
Sure beats freaking out because someone has messed with the
carefully-arranged lighting arrangement
Frex, brought their million-candlepower flashlight to a night lab or
star-gazing session . . .
and walked out again before you can say anything.)
