Know any cold remedies?

[Low Key]

I've been sick for three days with no sign of it letting up. I thought I was doing better on tuesday, but I woke up this morning with one of the worst sore throats I have ever had. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal. Getting sick is part of life, but my boss won't even let me step foot into work. I've lost half of my paycheck this week because of this damn illness.

So if anyone has any remedies, please let me know. I can't miss work again tomorrow and I have a baseball tournament this weekend that I have to be at. So far, I bought a big jug of OJ, I've been eating soup, and I've been taking Dayquil/Nyquil in the morning and evening respectively.

Keep drinking lots of water, taking your vitamin c, eating chicken soup and avoid staying too long in rooms with air con (or anywhere with dry air).

Let the cold be and it'll be gone in 7 days

Treat it and it'll be gone in a week

Just a lot of fluids and blow the crap outta your nose and you're fine =D

mug of boiling water, juice of a lemon, couple spoons of honey.

AKA honey and lemon

delicious and healing

Drink lots and lots of fluids, get plenty of sleep, and while you're off sleep in loads, both to catch up on sleep and to get healthy again.

Well I usually make fruit drinks with fresh squeezed lemons, oranges, limes, any citrus fruit really. They seem to help a little.

Lemsip is made of win in my oppinion. But some people hate the stuff.

Also I can recomend a hot toddy, never had a cold that a good one can't cure, a traditional cure that does work.

1:Whisky (One of the rougher island ones idealy and not a burbon)

2:A little honey

3:some lemon juice (optional)

4:boiling water

Water and sleep.

That works for me.

Something called DOC. The little drop things in a bag? Works great XD. I've been sleeping for 2 days straight, haven't helped me a bit, and I'm drinking constantly (a result of this is going to the bathroom ever 15 minutes). I still feel like crap...

There is no cure! WERE GONNA DIE! AAAAAH!

Orange Juice... Works too =3.

 

[Enigmers]

I drink tea with some lemon juice and raspberry jam mixed right in and it helps.

I don't have any remedies for your current cold but you could move to a warmer, drier climate and avoid future colds.

three things to do:
1. drink orange juice every time you eat, or at least twice a day.
2. Soup; eat soup. TOP RAMEN DOESN'T COUNT.
3. have someone ou know go to the local store and get some vitamin C. Eat the recomended amount of pills for the recomended amount of times per day if you choose. i personally just take two vitamin c's every hour.

Thanks for the advice guys. I really appreciate it. I just bought some honey last week coincidentally. Guess I'll be putting that to good use. Unfortunately, the only fruit I have on hand are clementines, but I suppose it's better than nothing. I'll be off to bed as soon as I make the honey/fruit juice mixture.
