What can I do about this cold?!
Question: My step daughter came over christmas eve sick and sneezed and coughed all over everything...Now I'm sick. Stuffy nose, sore throat, cough that hurts my throat and chest. I don't have time to go to the doctor, is there anything I can take to knock this crap out? This morning I took Robutussim, I feel better somewhat but my cough is killing me..

Remember to keep liquids in your body. There are great OTC cold remedies at the drug store, and invest in a bottle of vitamiln C.
Google the "lemonade diet" and you'll find a good cure. It's a mixture of cayenne, fresh squeezed lemon, maple syrup, and water. I take some very time I get a cold and it clears up within a day or two.
Robustussin is a pretty much the best thing you can take. You might need an antibiotic if the cold doesn't get better after a couple of days. Also remember that a common cold can last up to 14 days.
I'd suggest that you see a doctor if your symptoms continue for a while.
However, maybe taking some Motrin or Tylenol Cold or something will help you.
Good luck and feel better!
dayquil works good and also thera flu but in the future try using Zicam ( a homeopathic nasal gel)if your around someone who is sick or if you feel like your are coming down with something. Airborne works well also to prevent colds, which is a supplement you drop in a glass of water and drink. I haven't had a cold in over two years by using these products. You can get them both at the pharmacy. Hope you feel better soon:)
try this it might work; if you have cough increased in intensity at night, buy mentholatum or they call it vix and put it on the back of your feet, wear socks and sleep, they are very good.
honey and lemon; one table spoon of honey with one lemon juice in warm water, drink twice daily with 1 grm of vitamin C.
