Sudafed is still available OTC, you just have to ask for it!. And taking the decongestant separately from the antihistamine is better than taking the combination pills: you can take the components you need when you need them without having to risk the side-effects of the other ingredients when they aren't needed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
paracetamol if you have a temperature, and drink plently of water, this will keep you hydrated and also thins out the mucous so you can blow your nose easier (use tissues and throw them away each time)!. steaming your head over a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head can also help!. rest when you can!. warm lemonade with honey is soothing for the throat, suck on lozenges if that helps!.

Sweat it out - go for a run or to the gym, or just wear loads of layers of tight clothes - my friend swears by 2 pairs of tights and leggings and 3 pairs of thick socks with legwarmers with thick tracksuits over the top, and lots of jumpers and a thick scarf and hat overnight - you will sweat lots but apparently this is good!.
otherwise, eat raw garlic and try zinc lozenges!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pour some really hot water in a bowl with a few drop of albus oil in or a half a teaspoon of vapour rub, place your head over the bowl with a towel covering over, so no steam can get out and breath deeply!. For the cough, honey is natures best cough cure!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Therma-Flu always works for me!. Also, if you rub vicks on your armpits, the back of your neck and upper chest before going to sleep, it will help you sleep well and decongest!. You might also want to gargle with listerine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
