Should I say feel better or get well soon?

You can say feel better or get well soon, depending on the situation.

  • “Feel better” is very casual and works when someone you know very well has a minor sickness. For example, if someone cancels a lunch date via text because they’re sick, you might reply, “feel better, and we’ll talk soon.”
  • “Get well soon” is more formal and works when someone has a more serious illness (e.g., something that would warrant a get well soon message or a get well soon card).
