It’s been
days since I made my last post. And I deeply regret it. I have been a victim of flu.
It was so sad. Cough, runny nose, weakness. I could take all these. But fever? Hardly. While I was having my duty in the ICU last Tuesday, I had to hide in the dressing room just so I would stop shivering (the ICU is really cold).
It’s when I realized it’s hard to do anything when you’re sick. This is examination week and I cannot even read my books because I was really preoccupied with things. Plus the flu has made me much lazier than normal. All I wanted to do was lie down or watch TV. I was unproductive for an entire week.
That’s why just a while ago, after much prodding from my mom, I finally went for a check-up. I’m not afraid of doctors. I’m afraid of their fees. Anyway, after several hundred pesos, I learned I had a viral infection which triggered my allergic rhinitis.
Sigh. If only we could all be healthy.
Here are 3 tips from my recent experience:
Drink lots of water. Always.
Eat nutritious food. If nutritious food is out of reach, have some supplements.
Go for a check-up early so you won’t waste time and money on self treatment which may end up useless in the end.
I’m looking forward for better days.
