I'm sick. Help me - General

For the past few nights I've been throwing up quite a bit. Usually when I'm ill I take a day off and just rest and drink orange juice or whatever, but this time I need to be somewhere tomorrow, it's urgent. Is there anything I can take to make me feel better or even cure me just for a day? Thanks [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Seek medical attention not FP" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

Generally if you are sick, you see a medical physician.

Best thing I can really think of is making a quick visit to the doctor. You could have a number of minor things. Other than that, rest up and take some pepto bismal

Sometimes it's best to skip breakfast. It's not reccomended, but it's stopped me feeling sick in the mornings.

Problem is, it's like half past midnight, can't really sleep cos I keep having to go to the bathroom, and tomorrow I [I][B]have[/B][/I] to go to school, so I can't see a doctor anytime soon.

you don't [B][I]have[/I][/B] to go to school if you're legitimately ill.

I realize you may be incredibly sick, but in a case where you HAVE to be somewhere, the only temporary cure is sucking it up and doing it no matter how shitty you feel. (This wasn't aimed to be rude. Just trying to give you motivation.)

if you mean downstairs bathroom then hammer a lot of loperamide (Immodium is the most popular brand over here) 6-8mg and that'll hold off the bathroom requirements for a good few hours if it's vomiting you can generally get some sort of medication over the counter, if it's hard nausea i get some domperidone pills, branded as Motillium over here. then if you need some pain killers alternate paracetamol and ibuprofen every 2 hours (so you're only taking the same one every 4 hours, as prescribed) it's no cure, but we don't know what's wrong with you, but that's enough meds to cover most of your bases and get you through the day [editline]4th September 2013[/editline] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loperamide[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domperidone[/url] [editline]4th September 2013[/editline] also drink as much water as you can without making yourself feel sick

Good luck with whatever you have to do. Hope you don't spontaneously vomit on anyone.

Wtf guys it's been 18 posts and you haven't even mentioned cancer.

I'm sorry I really hope you feel better soon my friend

Drink lots of water, take daytime medication if you need to relieve symptoms if you need to do stuff, and take drowsy nighttime meds to help you sleep. Eat soup chicken noodle soup for lunch and dinner, perhaps cereal for breakfast. Drink tea if you get sick of water. Only time will make you better.

The best thing you could do right now is contact whoever you need to see tomorrow and tell them you're sick and you'll need to do this (whatever 'this' is) another day. There's really no way to force yourself to not be sick anymore. If it's been going on for a few days then definitely go see a doctor because stomach bugs don't usually last that long.

[QUOTE=solid_jake;42080899]why is this an uncommon reflex jesus fucking christ guys[/QUOTE] I didn't see a doctor for my spontaneous tongue swelling until it became unmanageable and started affecting my speech anyway when on a call. $650, some steroid pills that only succeeded in irritating me, and a set of shrugged shoulders later and they still had no idea what caused it. And then it went away after another week.

If possible, just drink water instead.

So I went to school, almost threw up. But I went straight to the school nurse, she gave me some meds and I felt okay for the rest of the day. Probably won't go in tomorrow, went to a doctor after school, he just told me to get the same meds the school nurse gave me :v:
