No cure for the common cold.

[Aunel]

When sick I play bass, makes me feel better in a few days.

 

[Ddgafd]

I'm on the computer, no matter what I have. Feel a lot better the next day.

 

[Raiha]

Chicken soup, chicken soup, chicken soup.

I was ill the other week at Uni, with limited food, water and no medicine.

I had to work through the pain. Courage Wolf was my guide! Pain is temporary, glory is eternal.

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

Peppermint and a little whiskey, put the 2 in a jar and let them ferment for a month or a couple of months

Then drink.

Heh, my great-great uncle was a doctor, who's cold remedy was a glass of whisky and an onion. The glass of whisky to knock him out, and the onion to keep everyone else away. He reached his late 80s, so I guess it worked pretty well.

The only thing you can do is to let the cold run its course. Replenish your fluids and do whatever you think will make you feel better, but the only real cure is bed rest.

Olbas oil and an incense burner, or just put a few drops on tissues and sniff it.

 

[The Rockerfly]

Orange juice - Enough to drown a giraffe in a giraffe sized bath tub.

Chicken soup, chicken soup, chicken soup.

Vicks VapoRub..lots of Juices and sleep

Listen to these people. Orange juice, chicken soup, Vicks, contact tablets, paracetamol and some stuff called sinex spray. You will feel better in no time

 

[thethingthatlurks]

Nyquil/Dayquil make it better. Or just drink a few bottles of orange juice

I maintain my health through blinding optimism. Fuck yeah.

Take analgesics to ease the fever, some cough syrup if your neck hurts and nasal drops or something to ease the congestion. Symptoms can be ameliorated but the cold ain't going away anytime soon.

Well, there's some good oils you can sniff (that I forget the name of) to clear your nose, and I'd recommend getting some nice soft tissues and not just using toilet/kitchen roll, as that stuff tears your nose quite a bit.

I usually just work my way through all the DVDs I haven't watched yet.

Menthol maybe? It's in mints. Clears your nose and makes you sneeze. Well, me at least. I've never had a mint and then not sneezed.

 

[JWAN]

Take a hot shower
Drink a lot of orange juice for the electrolytes
Drink water for the hydration
get some aloe tissues
take a nap

It has generally been shown that plenty of non diuretic liquids and increased intake of foods and suplements with vitamin C and zinc tend to reduce the length of a cold. Combine that with any of a dozen OTC medications that reduce the symptoms and you ought to be fine.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

I'm hardly ever sick enough to be bed ridden, but when I am Nyquil comes to save the day.

Interesting side note, when I first read the thread title, I thought I read no cure for the common kid.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

My tips, vitamine C + Bed rest = profit.
That's what I did the last time I had a cold, worked pretty damn well.

Somehow create a situation that makes the police teargas you. That stuff clears the sinuses right up.
