Before you go to sleep, drink a ton of water and pack on like three extra blankets. You'll sweat it out.

I was going to suggest orange juice, but I see you've tried that already. On a happier note, did you know you never get the exact same cold twice? So once you're through with this, you'll be immune to it. Until the next newly structured virus comes along.

I don't know what works, but I take Airborne, some sort of Alka Seltzer cold syrup, and rub Vicks on my chest.

Other than that, I just wait it out, since I don't have other cold-related things and I don't care enough to go get a prescription or a Zpak.

I stand by Lemsip. I love that stuff. Tokzic's way is a good idea as well. My dad stands by that method too.

I can't take sudafed, so the pharmacists recommended vicks 44..... and it works wonders. Feel better soon.

Definately LOOOOONNG hot showers mucos-like cold. Hot showers help break all that crap apart and you blow/cough it out. Also, Anti-Oxidants are really good for your immune system. Fish oil pills are super high in anti-oxidants. Although so are grapes.

Don't take antibiotics.

Gargle warm salt water. Take a decongestant, get some rest, tell FFR.

True dat. Drugs have been proven to weeken the immune system if you don't take the total dose. Which I think I've taken the whole thing once? Maybe twice.

I figured she was saying it because, you know, a cold is viral.

Re: Best common cold remedies

don't drink anything cold (especially soda)
as soon as you feel it coming on, drink only warm stuff

I drink a lot of hot chocolate and warm milk and it helps
If you drink water, make sure its lukewarm at least. Or just heat it up and throw swiss miss in >_>;;

warm salt water gargling works amazingly too
