I have a class tonight I can't miss and today I got hit with the worst cold/flu ever. My head feels like its 500000 pounds, need to blow my nose every 10 minutes and throwing up/running to the washroom at lease once an hour. Anyone have a quick fix that will do me for 3 hours for the class tonight?

Just pick up some cold medicine that has pain reliever and antihistamine in it. The latter will make you a little sleepy but it will dry up your runny nose for a while. Also drink a ton of water to help with dehydration and pop 100mg of zinc.

Dayquil for the cold symptoms, Imodium for the diarrhea, Emetrol for the puking. No guarantee it'll work, but you might get lucky and make it 3 hours. The first day or two of a cold are usually the worst.

I feel your pain, I came down with a cold last night. Runny nose, sore throat, pounding headache, fever. Got almost no sleep last night. I don't need to be sick right now.
