Answers:
simple answer; keep warm, get lots of rest if possible, gargle frequently with warm water/salt solution (3oz water - 1/2 tsp salt), get some Vitamin C into you (supplements/Orange juice), eat some chicken soup (keep food light, but eat!) ibuprofen for any fever or pain (better than aspirin or tylenol), and rest, rest, rest!.

A previous answer follows: I used to get colds and 'flu every winter, but since adopting the recommendations at http://www!.mercola!.com I have not had one for the last 3 years!. This I attribute not only to my enhanced immune system, but also to the antiviral, antibacterial, and anti fungal additives to my diet, which now makes my body a very poor environment for such organisms to multiply in!. Dr mercola recommends that everyone consume garlic: I eat 2 cloves, daily!. Odorless garlic is an option, although not the one I choose!.
He also recommends to alternate ginger and cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, on a daily basis, to prevent the possibility of developing an allergy, but I have found that I can consume 2 level teaspoons of the following mix on a daily basis, with no problems: 1 part nutmeg; 2 parts cloves; 2 parts cinnamon; 20 parts ginger!. I add one level teaspoon to a cup of green tea!.
In addition, he advises people to get adequate daily exposure to sunlight, and to eat in accordance with their "nutritional type" as determined by using the searchbar on that, as well as "sunlight exposure" at his website, which is now the most popular alternative health website in the world!.
In your case, I strongly advise you to have a complete medical examination, including thyroid function, adrenals, blood sugar and levels of vitamin D3, magnesium, zinc, calcium, iron, and potassium: the works, in fact!. You may be surprised by what is revealed!. He recommends that you slowly SUCK, NOT CHEW, zinc lozenges for colds, at earliest onset!. Why not subscribe to the regular, free Ezine at the mercola website!? I have learned a LOT through it, and look forward to it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Keep warm, you should stay in bed!. Eat warm soup, or juk!. Actually it would probably be better to have chicken soup (samgyatang) drink lots of water and get cough medicineWww@Answer-Health@Com
