Sick 5 Days Before Wedding

You need to take the week off if it’s that bad! Hopefully your supervisor will understand. If your out in public it may linger even longer from other germs. You really don’t want to be not feeling well in the day you’ve been waiting for. Tea with Ginger, rest, and fluids, fluids, fluids!

My grandma swears by hot toddy’s, but if you’re not a whisky person tea and just lots of fluids in general. I take echinacea supplements and feel like they really help me.

Water & gatorade & all kinds of fluids NONSTOP. Disinfect your desk, cell phone, everything. Wash your pillow cases & sheets, and disinfect your bathroom & kitchen! Multi-vitamins help too, and things like airborne.

You also gotta get plenty of sleep or rest

Lots of fluids and rest.

Give your body a vitamin c shock - if I drink about 3 packets worth of emergen - c before bed I always wake up feeling 10x better the next day! Also sleep as much as you can, stay hydrated, and don’t forget to eat. I know feeling sick can ruin an appetite but your body needs it!

The night before my first wedding I had a raging fever!!! I was sick as a dog. I looked like death in my rehearsal dinner photos but magically was fine the next day!

Check out Zinc for colds! They have them in the cold section of Walgreens and I swear it cuts my cold time in half.

I got a bad head cold the day before my wedding that was worse on my wedding day. Fortunately, my adrenaline kicked in and I didn't even feel it until after the weekend was over. I was so happy and on such a high that it didn't faze me. It was a bummer that I couldn't really drink though since my throat was sore and I had a headache, plus my voice sounded a little funny because I was stuffy. I just took some advil throughout the day and kept throat lozenges in my bridal clutch.
