How to get over a cold fast?!


Question: How to get over a cold fast?
I have a cold and would like to get over it by Saturday or at least make it go away as fast as possible. Please help.


My symptoms are:
a major cough
runny nose
and a headache


Any suggestions?

Answers:

assuming this isn't sinusitis, which may be bacterial (if the headache is on one side, there is pain to the touch, and the mucous running out of your nose is green, see a doc please)

All you can do is to boost your immune system with healthy eating and plenty of rest, since the "cold" is caused by a virus and does not respond to antibiotic therapy.

you can take medication for the symptoms (cough drops, tylenol, robutussin) but that won't speed up the course of the illness

Umm every time you cough make sure you spit to get the bugers out lol for the head pains take two advils. For the cough just get the little cough drops some of them taste like candy. MOST IMPORTANT ok go to youtube an type this in "Get Rid of a Stuffy Nose in about 40 Seconds!! Website Review" now trust me it works, however it might clear on side of your nose and the other one may get worst. An it may clear both.

AND if all else fails you can get hit by a car im sure you will get over the cold.

Rest and stating hydrated. Vitamin C won't help after cold symptoms appear...only prior. Kind of like a vaccine.



It's too late to take Zicam, you're already well into the cold. There are no shortcuts now. It has to run its course.

Plenty of rest
Fresh air
Vitamin C
Generally healthy foods
Warmth
Hope You get over it soon :D



Get some Zicam (spray) , it works.
