Your best cold remedies?

Usually takes me about a week to get over a cold. The best thing I can do is to sleep or rest. I am always taking an OTC allergy med, so I usually keep with that. If I'm not already, I begin using the Neil Med nasal rinse twice a day. I also start taking airborne or it's generic form when I start getting a cold. Then I supplement with cold medicine like contact, mucinex, real sudafed, or tylenol. My goal is to keep it from becoming a sinus infection which requires a doctor visit and an antibiotic or steroid.

I had a cold recently and went to the doc before it could turn into an infection. Got a prescription for some nasal spray that's a cortisteroid. I used to use the same stuff a long time ago. Man, it makes a huge difference in my allergies and sinuses when I use it daily. I'm not sure why I ever quit using it other than it's $60 a refill. Hope you get over it quick.

 

Sleepy time tea with some jack and sugar

 

when i was sick the TW gurus reccomended rum whiskey and beer

i dosed up on Nyquil, Thera Flu, put a salve in boiling water and inhaled the fumes, some syrup with i forgot what ect...

all in all get fucked up

 

Nyquil every night for like ....3-4 nights. Lots of vitamen C - usually pills or disolvable tablets.

 

And try Emergen-C

 

Usually I sleep, sleep, sleep.

I used to not care, coming in to work and it just prolonged my sickness.

Sore throat: pour honey and lemon into a teacup and microwave it, it will make your throat feel better than taking halls.

cold/flu: Nyquil and plenty of sleep

 

go work out with lots of clothes on and sweat it out

 

NO! We are killing the virus/cold with alcohol, the stronger the better

 

I normaly go a day with day qwill/night qwill, and taking air born twice a day. Hot tea with honey. The next morning if not feeling better I start an IV on my self and run a boulis of NS and repeat the steps above.

 

When ever I feel a sore throat coming on I gurgle listerine as far back as I can in my throat without choking on it. I do it bout every 2 hours when home.

 

I agree with nofords08, my parents are from Laos and over there, there is no nyquil and stuff like that...so as kids when we get a fever my mom would wrap us in blankets and make us sweat it out...

 

SURE CURE

1 Coricidin

1 shot of tussin

1 shot of jack daniels

 

Zicam, but you need to start taking it right at the onset of a cold.

It is a zinc-based homeopathic medicine.

I have avoided many colds by hitting this stuff early and often.

 

Raises your core body temp to kill baddies i.e. bacteria, or viruses causing you to get sick, that's why it works

My Remedies is Plenty of Sleep, Call Of Duty, chicken soup, Hot Peppermint Tea, chloroseptic spray, halls, penecillin, hot showers and sex.

I think I almost if not got like pneunomia or something this last month because i was sick for a week but i had a cough that lingered for well over a month. Either that or laryngitis. I don't know, gargled mouthwash to kill what ever baddies was in the back of my throat, and it helps too. alcohol kills!

 

call of duty ftw
