Last week a Fox infobabe asked an “expert” about upping the amount of drinking water. He said that you should stay hydrated, but to go overboard “would bring on another whole set of problems.” He didn’t go in to detail, but I wish he had. (Maybe it’s connected to TOILET PAPER!)
OK. Thats cool. Here is what I was ALWAYS told by medical professionals here.
Drink enough to pee once every 30 minutes to 40 minutes or so. You go once every 40 minutes to and hour? So what? The point is, as I was told, that the body needs those fluids to flush out the virus. When you are dehydrated, the body withholds fluids, and you will experience more problems.
I have YET to have any so called medical “expert” on here to tell me that they have a better way to treat this than mothers home care we were all brought up with. That is..lots of fluids, getting fresh air after your fever breaks, Soups, crackers-light meals, and bundling to break the fever, getting into a hot tub and soaking..etc.
BTW, every single person I know who I have talked to these past days are really laughing about this. They are as amazed as I am at the whole thing.
I hate to tell you this, but the country and rural people are getting so they do NOT LIKE anyone from the urban/population centers. One told me that the city slickers cows have finally come home to roost.
The “experts” can go shove it. Until they have a cure all for this, I aint listening.
