I've had this massive cold like thing for over a week now. I feel FINE now except I'm coughing a lot and there's a lot of phlem (sorry for the details).

Started antibiotics today so I have an upset stomach. Haven't worked out in a WEEK. Wanted to go to the gym today and do a little cardio - eliptical for 20 minutes or something - just to get some exercise in me.

Good idea? Bad idea?

Milk or yogurt might help the stomach. Do you have diarrhea as well?

No real reason not to exercise though.

Actually don't do that. Dairy products will promote more phlegm.
