Your cold rememdies

[IhateClowns]

I am hurting over here. Head clogged up. Long night of no sleep. My ears and throat are starting to hurt. Not good. Everyone has different stuff to help fight or get rid of their colds. I need help.

What are your cold rememdies??????

 

[the_voice_of_reason]

There's a whole bunch of stuff that people will tell you to take but honestly I find as much paracetamol / ibuprofen as you can fit without outdoing the dosage and a metric fuck-tonne of water.
The drugs alleviate the pain and the water pushes everything through.
Good luck and best wishes, illness really sucks you have my sympathy

Go in the bathroom, close the door and turn on the hot water. Let it steam up and you start to breath in the steam. That will open up the passages. Another is to get an onion and fry it up then eat it which actually works. Anything hot seems to open up the passages. Try the onion though

Tylenol Cold & Sinus capsules

A mug of hot Constant Comment, with honey
My lazyboy recliner
An electric blanket
A good book

And time, time, time

 

[ChikieRoo]

Masturbate....

Take three tylenol.. (ya look like a strappin'lad, you can handle it). Get ahold of some hibiscus or rosehip tea (speciality european shops, polish deli's) or chamomile tea. Make up a few cups, strong! At least two teabags per cup. *giggles* (teabag) sorry.. back on track Add in a couple teaspoons of honey. Drink fast, as hot as you can stand it.

Masturbate

Another drink... Hot Toddy.. Boiling water, turkey whiskey, fresh lemon juice and honey. Find the righ strength for wich you're comfortable with.

And, you could always try masturbating again, in hopes you slip into a nap for a couple hours

Hope ya feel better soon!

 

[DaemonOfSin]

hope you feel better. I usually just stay in bed and wait it out

 

[HoHoBomb]

Ginger

 

[ivantheterrible]

chew golden seal root, spit it out. not good for the stomach. gargle salt water. and if you can either snort salt water or goldenseal tea. pluersy root for coughs. lots of sleep and liquids. hot showers or baths do wonders.

 

[janeyl]

A yorkshire remedy

Boiled lemonade-the fizzy stuff-with a good splash of fresh lemon juice and a big teaspoon of honey-manuka if you can get it

You can turn it into a toddy with a slug of whisky or brandy and four hourly paracetamol for the fever and pain relief

Feel better sunshine

Oh and get the kleenex with the balm so your little nosey don't get sore

If you need a nursey to rub vick on your chest, you know where I am

 

[Sensualdreamer]

Awww sorry you don't feel well IHC ((HUGS!!))

Given that you have a sore throat...Vodka - it will kill off any harmful bacteria & will steralise your throat.

One of the best foods you can eat when you have a cold is chili - the capsaicin in chiles stimulate mucous secretions to help clear mucous from a stuffy nose, plus it has vitamin A which helps to boost the immune system.

For the coughing/congestion slather some Vicks vapor rub on the bottom of your feet, cover your feet up w/ socks. Your feet will absorb the menthol oil quicker than if you were to put it on your chest (tho a thin layer on your chest wouldn't hurt either)

 

[sweetpea24]

Lots and lots of fluids - apple juice, ginger ale, hot tea
Vicks Vaporub - just a tad under your nose
Good tissues -like the kind with lotion in them
Lots of rest

 

[Cinner]

You should cut up a clove of garlic into aspirin sized pieces and swallow (don't chew) with a drink. Do that three times today and again tomorrow morning (and if necessary at lunchtime). You should feel better by tomorrow afternoon.

I do this even when I don't have a cold because I believe that the natural antiseptic in garlic helps to keep them away.

Take care, my friend!

I decided to come home early. Wow quite the eclectic group of cures. From munching on onions and garlic to lots and lots of sex and everything in between I should be feeling better by March.

The constant is rubbing Vicks all over my body. I need some help reaching certain places though. Hmmmm what to do what to do

 

[Mrs.H]

Chicken Soup

Tylenol

Orange Juice

Ginger Ale

Lots and lots of sleep!! If you're not better within 2-3 days, you really need to be on an antibiotic.

 

[Anaconda man]

2 litres of vodka and 2 litres of OJ. Consume rapidly, go to bed. Stay in bed all the next day. If the vodka doesn't kill the buggers off, you'll have made it as bad as it's going to get, and you'll only get better from there on in!

(Best doing this on a Friday night)

This. And any real spicy food - Mexican, Thai, etc.

I knew this would be great.......ya' hippy! <~~Chikie

My remedy Mr.Clowns.........recommended by most health professionals.....Sudafed or Benedryl (no additives such as acetomenaphine or ibuprofen), take the recommended dose....then take Ibuprofen separately as suggested per weight for inflammation of nasal passages, sore muscles and headache. Repeat dosages, again as recommended....

Hope you begin to feel well, soon.
