With many illnesses, including viral illnesses, you may be able to just wait them out and they'll go away by themselves. But if you want to get better sooner, you may be able to help yourself by:   • Getting some fresh air • Drinking plenty of water (lemon water, as well as ginger, chamomile, or peppermint tea, may help too, especially if you're nauseous), eating foods containing ginger, or snacking on healthy foods • Applying a cool compress to your neck • Meditating   There may be other medications and ways of treating a sick feeling or an illness, but this often depends on what's making you sick in the first place. If the solutions above don't work for you, then come see us here at Wendell Family Medicine. We're available for walk-in appointments, and we'll be able to determine what your illness is and help you treat it right away, right on the spot. If you need a prescription for your illness, we'll happily provide it or any other treatment you require.
