drink water all day everyday, sleep, watch movies. My mom is sick with some shit too and i've never heard anyone as pathetic in my life, im bout to go out and cop a gun for her.
drinking water/staying hydrated and sleeping are probably the two simplest yet helpful things you can do when sick. water helps metabolism and not just in the nutritional sense. sleeping allows your body to spend more resources fighting the damn thing, to put it in a biologically bastardized way.
