down at least 1,000mg of vitamin C a day, cook with lots of garlic, take extra zinc (zinc gluconate lozenges are widely available and cheap), and, what I personally swear by, olive leaf (capsules) and Yin Chao (Chinese Herbal complex). These last two are available at health food stores; I typically double the recommended dosages... they're both trusted herbal remedies and I've never had anything but positive (and quick) results from doing this. An echinacea/goldenseal combo is super helpful, too. if you have chills/fever, body ache, and nausea, you probably have the flu; otherwise, just a cold. get enough sleep!
There are these really good medicine things, you can get them at your local chemist over the counter. They are: Bioglan therapeutic rapid action, throat-clear,Sugarfree Herbal Antibiotic pastille lozenges. They help with heaps of things from runny noses, to coughs and colds. I use them whenever i am sick and they work for me. Good luck, i hope they help.
well if it's just a cold then take vitamin c like airborne, and also drink a ton of OJ and liquids. This should help better than anything else for a cold. Unfortunately if this is the flu virus that's going around, which I have even had, then there's not much you can do about it. One question is your throat soar or have you been coughing hard at all?
There is a product called cold eeze. They are special losonges. If you start taking them as directed, AT THE FIRST SIGNS OF A COLD, they will cut the duration of the cold in half. They can also prevent the symptoms from becoming full blown in some cases.
Very important things to remember if you take them:
1. Cold eeze is the only acceptable brand. The others are crap.
2. You cannot have anything containing vitamin c during the days that you will be taking the losonges. The vitamin c counteracts with the zinc, making the losinges ineffective.
3. You must start taking them as soon as you suspect that you have a cold. If you are already halfway through it, they won't help.
4. It is only for colds. It won't work for allergies, strep throat, flu, etc.
When i get sick i go and get a gallon of OJ and chug it! and by the time i get done with it my body has enough vitamine C to kill the bug that i have! feel better soon!!!
ziacam has helped me. Gargle with hot salt water. Also, steam a pan of water (preferably with seasalts) and drape a towel over your head and the pan (turn off the flame first). The steam should be as hot as you can stand it, stay in the steam for about 20 minutes, breathing in through the mouth and out the nose and reverse. Keep at it, even if you are uncomfortable.
Good luck
Try a sudafed in the morning and a breath-right strip and some NyQuil at night.
Lots of fluids, and hot showers.
