I hate getting sick. I'm a terrible patient too. I get really whiny, so I try to just stay in bed all day so I don't bother anyone.

I know a few home remedies that you can try: For a sore throat, you try gargling salt water or drinking hot tea with honey and lemon. Personally, I like the tea drink better. Just sip on that for a while to soothe your throat.

For body aches, you can try soaking in the tub for a while, but since you gotta keep an eye on your daughter, I don't know if that's an option... You can also use a heating pad and put in on your most achy part of your body. If you don't have one, you can do a makeshift one by filling a sock with dry rice and sticking it in the microwave for a while until it's hot, and then put it on whatever part of your body you need it most.

For congestion, I usually take a Mucinex for that, but you can also try some Vick's Vapor rub or pop in an Altoid. Altoids are those "curiously strong" mints, and I swear just eating one of those makes my sinuses so freaking clear! Doesn't matter which flavor you get, but I like the peppermint kind.

Hope you get to feeling better soon!
