If you’ve been one of the many contributors to the choir of coughing fits in lecture halls, this guide is for you. Coming from someone who has been knocked out by three different viruses since Week 0, here are resources to try shaking off that sore throat.Shopping for remediesIf you’ve been dreading having to spend valuable money on medication, worry not — you can use your dining dollars! With six locations scattered across campus and many open until 2 a.m. multiple nights of the week, the Just Walk Out markets are fully stocked with cold and flu medicine, ibuprofen, tissues and a variety of other items to help you fight off illness. Hydration is crucial when sick to aid your immune system, so buy some electrolyte tablets and beverages such as Emergen-C, Gatorade, Powerade and Gatorlyte from the campus markets. These regulate chemical reactions and maintain balance of fluids in your body. The barista bars in select markets also sell various Mighty Leaf hot teas for additional hydration and throat soothing. Try the Mint Melange tea for its antioxidant properties or the Ginger Twist tea for its anti-inflammatory properties.Staying fedIt can be difficult to wait six hours for your Triton2Go order when you’re already feeling frail, but fortunately the campus markets also sell ready-made or frozen meals, such as the Panera soup collection in the refrigerator section. As a UC San Diego student, you also have free access to a Grubhub+ student membership, giving you free delivery on off-campus orders and allowing you to link your TritonCash as a payment method. With this, you never have to leave the comfort of your Twin XL bed for food. Sometimes the best cure is some wonton soup from Din Tai Fung.Getting helpIf you start to experience a prolonged fever, vomiting or a cough that persists for more than three weeks, it might be time to ditch home remedies and get checked out by a health professional. Luckily, UCSD’s Triton Health and Wellness Building, located just behind Center Hall, is the new location for the Student Health Services office. It offers regular appointments, 24/7 access to virtual advice from a nurse at 858-249-3400 and same-day urgent care services — all available through your UCSD MyStudentChart account.Unhinged methodsIf you’re going on week two of runny noses and sore throats and recovery seems nowhere in sight, I have a couple more desperate, nontraditional methods for recovery — use them at your own discretion. I recommend eating entire cloves of raw garlic, which you can also pick up from your nearest JWO market. Garlic supports the immune system through a primary compound known as allicin. Cooking the garlic can kill the allicin, so shove a couple of raw cloves into your mouth and hope for the best. If you choose to give this a try, please make sure to brush your teeth before you head over to your next mandatory lecture — for your classmates’ sake. Another recommendation is to eat an orange — an easy market find — while in an extremely hot shower. The steam from the hot shower can help with decongestion while oranges contain vitamin C, which is crucial for your immune system.Remember that the school is here to support you, and it is always okay to take a sick day. You may not fully heal if you don’t allow your body time to rest, and it’s important to try to limit the spread of disease wherever you can. Getting sick as a busy student can be tough, but hopefully these tips aid you in your recovery process! </div></body>
