Help! I'm sick, what do I do?

I have an eight month old daughter and I don't know what I should do! I keep washing my hands and I have antibacterial hand stuff in every room. But she's crawling all over the place and I feel like crap. I'm so tired and I feel guilty because I don't feel much like playing. I don't have anyone that can come over and help me. Any suggestions on what might make me feel better or what we can do? I already have cold medicine and cough drops, but they do not seem to work for more than half an hour! :(

Answers:
If you feel that bad perhaps you have more than just a cold and have the flu? Going to see a Dr wouldnt be a bad idea in that case. I dont know your symptoms to try to give you home remedy advice. If you have a sore throat then I'd say tea with honey, that always seems to help me.
DONT feel guilty for not playing, I'm sure on all those days you feel well you play with her a lot, right? I've had to call in a few sick days myself (meaning she was in the playpen a lot) while I was lying in bed trying to recuperate.
Where I live we have drop-in daycare as well, it is awesome. My daughter goes twice a wk for 2hrs+ each time and I get to run all those errands that I need to get done or heaven forbid take a relaxing bath without worrying about her crying for me to come get her. I really recommend you trying to find one in your area, hopefully they will have one.
Get well soon!!

For both your sakes, I'd go to a doctor as soon as you can.
