H1N1~We have never been so sick!!!!

[friendlymom5]

My 4, 6, 8, 12 yr old and I all have H1N1 and have never been so miserable. Any suggestions to make the kids feel more comfortable? Of course I know there is not much we can do but I was looking for some maybe comfort tea recipes etc. Yes, we have been to the dr. we have to wait it out, they are sleeping now but I am making some chicken soup for later but wondering if anyone has any good feel better ideas. Thanks.

Popsicles, jello etc. but we were also nauseated with it, I could not even stand the chicken noodle soup, Camomille tea with honey helps me feel better.

I hope you'll feel better soon!

I dont know what else to tell you besides stick with liquids thats what I do when I get the regular flu

I give my son regular tea with sugar and cream.  I don't think it's so much what you give them to drink as it is that it is hot.  That's what helps me.

No ideas, but wanted to say that I hope you all feel better soon! It's gotta be so rough being sick along with your kids. ((HUGS))

Thanks, we have been on the typical popsicles, gatorade, jello soup. The coughs have set in hard now but they are all grossed out at the thought of tea. I have some apple/cinnamon tea and chamomille. Do you put powdered creamer in it or milk? My 4 yr old is up now and I am gonna make her some tea.

UGH that sucks mama.. My kiddos had it any my 7 yr old got it the WORST =( My 21 month old got it after her and she was pretty sick too and my 5 yr old just recently got it and all she had was a high fever for 3 days and some coughing and that was it. I just kept them hydrated and stock up on Tylenol and Motrin, Good Luck and hope you all feel better soon!
