Ah, it’s that time of year again when the elusive 24-hour sickness starts making the rounds. You know the one—it creeps up on you without warning, and while you don’t have a fever and it’s not quite a full-blown stomach bug, your head feels like it’s in a vice grip. Simply getting out of bed requires every ounce of non-existent energy you can muster and everything seems, bleh.
Today, I find myself in the grips of this mystery illness, making it the perfect opportunity to share some of my favorite sick day remedies and comforts that help me cope when I’m feeling under the weather. Whether you’re battling this pesky bug or just looking for ways to pamper yourself on a down day, here’s what works for me.


Zarbee’s Saline Nasal Mist is essential for any illness that causes a stuffy nose. It acts quickly, has no side effects, and is safe for everyone in the household. We always keep a bottle handy, and my youngest even has one right next to her bed for those late-night congestion bouts. Simply spritz a little into each nostril while tilting your head back slightly, and you’ll be good to go!
As we all know, staying hydrated is essential for a swift recovery. That’s why I make it a priority to drink Liquid IV when I’m feeling under the weather. My personal favorite is the lemon-lime flavor, but there’s a wide variety to choose from, including sugar-free options. The Hydration Multiplier Sugar-Free is crafted with a proprietary Amino Acid Allulose Blend, offering three times the electrolytes of leading sports drinks, along with eight essential vitamins and nutrients. Plus, it’s gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free for added peace of mind.
I typically spend my sick days in bed—well, as much as being a mom allows. That means I need some binge-worthy TV shows to get me through, and I always turn to Amazon Prime Video for that. You can discover both beloved classics and exciting new hits anytime. Plus, it’s included with a Prime subscription that nearly everyone has these days!

To be frank, that’s about all the energy I have for now. I sincerely hope none of you catch this illness, and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
