Question:
What's the fastest way to get rid of a cold?
Q says it all, what are you best remedies
Answers:
There are no shortcuts. Drink lots of fluids, get lots of REST, stay warm, take aspirin or ibuprofen for pains and fever. Don't drink a lot of alcohol because that dries out your air passages and makes it harder to heal.
I find it helps to eat really hot food, like Mexican food with lots of chiles or Indian food. It seems to just clear out my sinuses. Plus you have to eat anyway right? When I was a kid my mom used to make me chicken soup and that really seems to help too. I never tried chicken soup with hot chiles, that might be the wonder cure! 8^)
It's funny, they can't treat a cold, but if you don't take care of it you can get a secondary infection that's much worse. And that they can treat!
