Get yourself some ginger, cut it up, put some in some boiling water and drink or even with a lemon tea or better yet eat raw slice of it every day when you’re ill and you’ll feel better in no time, it’s nature’s remedy
If you’re within an hour walk from home, you should just walk home.
I understand taking public transit or an Uber there to be on time, but you’re not rushing to get home. Thus, walk.
