Getting rid of a cold?!


Question: Getting rid of a cold!?
I can feel the beginning of a cold!. I noticed it yesterday!. What can I do to get rid of it pronto!?

I have a Conference that I have organised from Sunday-Tuesday and am flying on Saturday morning, so there's no time for rest! I'll try to be in bed by 8!.30pm tonight and tomorrow night, but that's all I can do in terms of resting!.

Is there any other way to get rid of it quick, like what to eat, drink, etc!?

I'm thinking of getting a pack of Codral on my lunch break, with that help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Echinacea is brilliant! You can buy tablets from any chemist!. You can also get tablets which are a mix of Echinacea, Garlic, Zinc and Vitamin C which are specially formulated to fight off colds!. I take these and they work great!. They naturally boost your immune system to quickly fight off any signs of colds!. I definitely recommend it!. Good luck and hope you're feeling better soon! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Drink lots of fluids, NOT SODA! Juice, water, tea!. Stay well rested make sure you are getting enough sleep every night, maybe take a nap during the day!. Acetaminophen or Tylenol is a fever reducer and pain reliever!. Use that to help with any spiking temperatures!. Make sure you eat whole healthy foods!. No junk food, or fast food!. Take medicine for a cough if you have one!. A good medicine to take over the counter is Day Quil (during the day obviously) and Night Quil at night!. They work really really well!. The equate brand is just as good too!.

Also make sure you have tissues or something to sneeze or cough in!. Seeing as how a cold is a droplet transition you can give it to anyone!. The range is about 3 feet!. So if you sneeze in someones face that is 3 feet or closer chances are they will get it too!. Even if they are further dont take the chance!. Use a tissue!.

I would also get some hand sanitizer for after you cough and sneeze to kill any germs!. And wash your hands frequently!.

Just take care of yourself and you should be over it in a couple of days!. :)

Vitamin C, hesperidin mineral powder-----i find this stuff magic-you don't get better immediately-you seem to be worse but it accellerates the symptoms and you get over it in about 24 hours!.!.!.!.!.!.it works best if you take it at very first feeling of cold!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get Zicam!. I've also found that when the cold is at its worst, Tylenol Cold quick release capsules work the best to control the symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Drink hot lemon juice and honey often, keep warm, and have lots of water but no milk!.
Milk causes more mucus and clogs the airways!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
