BKK Beat Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (Thai) Family sick, now I'm sick. I feel a bit of a girl to complain, but I caught what seems to be the latest bug. Sore throat, lot's of snot. Just feel like cr*p Others complained of headaches. It seems to be slowly working it's way through the extended Family. In the West I rarely get sick, but this has laid me low. Anyone else got this? Cures? Not the Thai WitchDoctor variety please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leo202 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I had it just over a week ago, the wife got me some pills from the doctor that put me on my ass for two days. Still don't feel too good but it's easing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 rest....some vitamins, good hydration, good food...soup.....should be gone fast...1 week max. 2 weeks. If it is a flu, while harmless it is very inconvenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtoad Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Seems to be a bit of it going around, a few at work have had it this week, and have to admit that I've felt pretty listless this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Silly I know, but usually when I get sick I go to visit a doctor rather than asking for medical advice on non medical themed forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a usual flu you don't need a doc and he can't help......It is normal 1-2 weeks. 3-4 days to recognize the enemy, than martial law and call for weapons and than the war which you finally win. No need for a doc unless you have other health problems or if it didn't clear itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naboo Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Whatever you do, don't research online. You'll be sure within an hour that you have full blown AIDS.

GaryB1263 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 This virus went though Jomtien like a plague. I was surprised that I had a slight cough but the big problem was 0 energy for 10 days. I couldn't taste anything also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuibeachcomber Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Silly I know, but usually when I get sick I go to visit a doctor rather than asking for medical advice on non medical themed forums. maybe the reason people ask on this forum is because they know a visit to the doc will end in the doc giving the patient unknown quantities of pills that do absolutely nothing to improve said patients condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKK Beat Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Try honey and lemon works for me. put it in a littel hot water and drink Thanks for all the suggestions, even the ones going to the Doctor (Duh). If it gets serious I will, but I was also trying to gague if our mob was just an isolated case or it's something doing the rounds. So, I took a few FA-THALAI-CHON cabsules as that was prescribed by the doctor for one of the Family. Searched it on the internet, harmless enough. A few GPO MOX. She who must be obeyed made essentially what was mentioned above. Honey and lime (we didn't have lemons) and hot water (tasted good also). Then a warm water and salt gargle, and a few times during the night, a Listerine Gargle. The drinks seem to sooth the sore throat. Snored like cabin full of drunk sailors with the snot buildup. Didn't sleep much. But, it seems to have done the trick. If I could just stop the sneezes and turn the tap off for the nose, I'd be sweet. I did make a promise that no more beer till I was better, so I hope that's soon. Cheers again for the responses ...

Didn't get me, but I have to admit, I don't have the luxury of being doing little or nothing for a week, such is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
