Just keep taking your meds; they'll take awhile to work (be careful not to exceed recommended dosage, though). Tea with honey, chicken soup, vitamin C are all good; keep those up. If it gets worse over a few days, then see a dr.--may be an infection. For now, though, just hang in there, rest, and follow most people's suggestions.
P.S. Krystal Gagnon, learn to read. The asker said that her mom told her NOT to drink OJ because it's cold, then you replied that her mom is RIGHT--"OJ will help big time." Also, in a previous question, you stated that yeast infections and urinary tract (which you charmingly spelled "track") infections are "basically the same thing." Um, no, they're not. Not at all. If you are seriously "soon to be pre-med", I am seriously terrified. You also answered someone's medical billing question, saying that you doubt their bill will be "redused" (um, it's "reduced"), which is wrong (your thumbs-down confirm this). Seriously, kid, if you want to go to med school (or get higher than a 3.5 in community college, which isn't that great at all), you've got to smarten up. And no one likes seeing caps lock, multiple !!! or ??? or, especially, ...!! and ~ in all your questions and answers.
"Hope this helps, hunny/sweetie!"
it takes time for medicine to get into your system and kick in, it may be 2 - 3days before you get to feeling better.
Your mother is right you have to drink Orange juice because that will help you big time !!!!! Keep drinking soup , take some vitamins and take the cold medicine that should help you in a couple days you should be back to your old self again ! ..If it dosen't go away within a couple days or a week go to your doctors and just get checked just incase okay sweetie ! .....Good luck and hope you feel better !!!!
Have you tried Children's Dimetapp? It's a grape-flavored syrup and it works really well. Tylenol isn't very effective for me when it comes to common colds (or anything else actually). Also get lots of sleep, and try to take medicine before sleeping. Feel better soon. :)
its the common cold, masked in with the black plague. seriously though. Soup and some rest is all you need, if you wake up listening to pink Floyd and wearing lose cloths then you got yourself another problem. Important question. Do you get mad easily and when you do; do you turn green?!
