Question: I think I'm coming down with a cold!. What are some things I could do to lessen the symptoms!?
I have a bit of a sore throat and the beginnings of a runny nose!. I've only been like this for about 2 hours, but a few of my friends that I hang out with have gotten colds recently and I wouldn't be surprised if I've got it now!. Anything in particular that I could do to lessen the strength of the cold!? I know it has to run it's course, but I heard that if you attack it early enough, you can lessen how bad it gets!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i always use this thing called tiger balm!.it really helps alot!. just rub a little on your forehead and stand outside for a while!. this is becuz if u have your eyes open then the fumes of the tiger balm make your eyes water!. this is a good thing tho!. but its really eye- watering!. and if u want to keep your eyes open then its better for you cuz it kills away any bacteria!. and it helps if u have glasses or something!. your eyes are perfect for a WHILE!. not a very long time tho!. but this works for me!. just try it once and if it doesnt work then u just have to go the old fashioned way:
like u have to-
+ sleep with heavy covers!.(u'll sweat but its good for ya)
+ try to live w/o air conditioning for a while
+ dont eat pizza, cheese, tomatoes, or anything that is cold
+ salads wont help either!.
+ NO BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
