Charlotte (caelestial) | 7 comments I read it sometime around the late 2000s. The illustrations seemed a bit older. It was in the children's section and I'm pretty sure it was for kids. It was a non-fiction book filled with tips on what to do when sick.

Random details I remember:
There was a recipes section in the back for different drinks and comfort foods. There were a few drink recipes requiring raw eggs. There was also a few pages dedicated to going to the doctor's office. It gave advice on bringing a backpack filled with games and snacks. There was another page that talked about staying in bed and keeping a thermos filled with soup or something.

Charlotte, were there lots of pictures? Were they realistic, cartoony, photographs, etc.?

Was the tone funny or serious?

A few long shots - I Feel Sick! by Mick Manning?
I Feel...Sick by DJ Corchin?

Anna | 207 comments This sounds similar to The Sick of Being Sick Book, which I remember as being a humourous take on the subject (and written for kids) while still giving advice on how to feel better.


Amy (Other Amy) | 198 comments If older, it could also be Minnie the Mump and Other Stories (Published 1970). I'm not finding a Goodreads entry, but here is Amazon:

The Sick of Being Sick book was the first thing that came to my mind, too. I remember it helping me through a bout of the flu when I was a kid. Also, it was written by RL Stine before he turned scary, which is kind of cool.
