What do we do if we catch 'it'

Oh dear RosieB have you actually GOT it? Don't answer if you don't want to - but how old are you, and what is your general health like normally?
I assume you've been told to treat it much as you would a dose of 'flu - paracetamols and fluid? I do hope you soon feel better. And do we assume that once you've recovered you will be a 'super person' and able to come and go as you please?
Take care of yourself and your lovely DH.

Me too.

Rosiebee, sending you get well wishes.

The resting and drinking are vital.

Small sips every few minutes are better than a glassful every few hours.

Rest is important to allow the body to fight and recover.

Lots of sleep if you can.

Paracetamol if your temperature is high, perhaps a few snacks when it isn't.

I've been drinking lots of water and taking paracetamol. DH has been taking my temperature every couple of hours. You need to eat although it all tastes awful. Food is fuel and your body needs it to recover. I've found something sharp like a good marmalade, or something like tinned fruit has been ok. Generally you have to accept that you're not well but that you will get over it. Be kind to yourself, rest and keep hydrated.

Allow time for getting through to 111. At midnight, there was a 30 minute wait! If very ill, call 999.

There is masses of advice out there if you think you have caught it. Here are a few reliable sites.
