Answers: Or at least something to ease the symptoms?
Be sure to eat well and eat healthy - hot cereals for breakfast, soups and salads for lunch, hot vegetables and lean meats or fish for dinner. Drink lots of fluids, especially clear liquids like juice, hot tea, and water. If you have a fever, stay warm and don't exert yourself. There really is no cure for a head-cold, but resting and eating well is the best treatment. You can also find over the counter remedies to help with your symptoms. I recommend Actifed for anyone who's got a lot of sneezing and a runny nose... NyQuil is good if you want something to knock you out at night.
Zicam will ease the symptoms and shorten the duration of the cold. I also take another over the counter product. Vicks Formula 44, Contact, Benadryl, that is formulated to relieve the specific symptoms I have. If you need to sleep take NyQuil.
Hope you feel better soon.
You can get hydrogen peroxide 10 volume from the store. It is usually in the pharmacy section. Pour 3-4 drops in the lid you don't need much. Tilt your head on the side and pour the hydrogen peroxide in your ear. Let it crackle for 10-15 seconds, then tilt your head the other way, covering your ear with a tissue so the liquid runs into the tissue. Don't dry your ear. Repeat on the other side. Repeat 3x a day.
From the health food store, get some good quality oregano oil. Rub it along your cheek bones, over your forehead, just below your jawline (where your glands are) and over the front of your throat. Do this three or four times daily. You can also put it on the bottoms of your feet and pull a pair of heavy socks on.
You can also put vicks vaporub on the bottoms of your feet at night and pull on a pair of socks. It will help you sleep better.
