Do you take medication when your sick? Or just pan it out without using medication?

Question

Obviously feeling sick with the cold/flu a fever or anything inbetween can be well pretty horrible right? But do you take medication to help? Or just pan it out being non medicated and go about your day? 

Note: I'm not talking about major medical issues but the minor issues such as a colds/flus/fevers/headaches/migraine/period pains etc

Right now I'm taking like 4 pills and 2 eye liquid thingy and nasal spray + eczema medication because my allergies are making me go insane lol ><
I didn't take my allergy medication before but since my allergy became extreme I have no choice, I hate it because I don't like taking medication ><
Usually I just let time heal things :p

I dont take anything at all.
No cough medicine, no pills, no tylenol, nothing. I generally try to get more rest, a lot more. Eat lightly, drink teas or more fluids but rest is the most important.

Not a fan of pharmaceutical products, pills and all that junk.

Nope, I avoid taking medicines for the minor illnesses such as cold, flu, headaches etc. Don't wanna overcharge my liver 😎 thankfully, I have'nt suffered major ills from a very long time. 🙏

It depends on the issue and how severe I think it is. With my migraines, I always take something or they're bound to last even longer. I might push through if it's just a headache, though, and doesn't seem like it'll get worse.

I usually just drink a lot of fluids (fruit juice), eat soup, drink tea, watch TV, play video games, and sleep. If I have obligations to attend to then I'll drink day quill and if my nose is poring like a fosset on days I need to meet with people, I'll take an antihistamine like Benadryl...

I take medication when I am sick, especially for period cramps. My last period, I couldn't even stand and my thighs were shaking uncontrollably but still went to work. Can't let things get in the way.

cavmanier · Answer

I would take an antibiotic if I had a serious infection but other than that I'd really want to avoid any medication and heal it naturally :)

I do because I hate being sick. Having a cold or flu for me is a huge pain. I dont feel good most days for other health reasons but throw on top of that a runny nose, headache, sore throat and coughing I become pissed!

Phoenix98 · Answer

Rarely normally I just spend a few days hibernating and boom I'm healed. And I legitimately havn't taken any antibiotics at all in 20-21 years.

Yeah I do, I already take medication for ADHD and that shit tends to be hardcore stimulants like Amphetamine salts. So whats a tylonal going to do to me

Tescosfinestmilk · Answer

I take pills for a headache, otherwise I try to rest, get fresh air and eat "sick" foods, such as soups.  I don't like to take pills, and try to find more natural ways to feel better.

Gnana · Answer

I never use medication because I'm allergic to it. I use natural herbs to sooth it. But I rarely get sick. Last stomach flu was when I was 11.

WillowTree · Answer

I take certain meds for certain things in moderation. If I can get away with a natural remedy, I'll do that instead.
