Answers:
A lot of vitamin c should help!. So eat a lot of oranges, kiwi and citric fruits!. Dreak herbal tea like echincea annd camomile and add a bit of honey!. Honey is good for soothing a sore through!. Drink plenty of water to keep u hydrated as this helps!. I searched for More tips and recollected the best i could find:
Stop the spreading of germs!. Don't allow others to eat or drink from anything you have come in contact with, and change your pillow cases every day or two while you're feeling ill!. This will limit your chances of spreading the illness, as well as help remove the germs from your environment!.
Drink lots of water or juice!. Staying hydrated will reduce the effects of many symptoms such as headaches and sore throat!. You may go to the bathroom a lot, but it's no different than your body trying to get rid of stuff by making you cough and sneeze!. A good indication that you are drinking enough fluids is that your urine will be almost clear!. The deeper yellows imply higher concentrations of waste in your body that are not dissolving and diluting enough - so, raise your fluid intake!. Hot soups are another good way to take fluids in!.
Eat chicken soup!. There has been some scientific evidence to suggest that chicken soup slows down the movement of certain white blood cells which cause the symptoms of a cold, in addition the hot liquid from the soup can help clear the nasal passages and soothe your throat!. In addition, some view the combination of salt, heat and fluid in chicken soup as an aid in fighting infection!.
Get plenty of rest and try not to exert yourself -- stressful activity can prolong a cold!. You may want to add an additional pillow if you find that you cough more when lying down!.
Take a hot bath/shower to clear up nasal passages!. If you have long hair, use a blow dryer to minimize losing your body heat afterwards!.
To soothe a scratchy throat, gargle with warm lightly salted water!.
Boil special leaves (such as mint leaves, eucalyptus, thyme, and clove), let a towel soak up the water, and inhale, or just leave it on your face for a couple of minutes!. It may help clear your nasal passages!.
Honey and Lemon cold relief: Boil some water, pour into a mug, add the lemon juice and stir in two teaspoons of honey (or to taste)!. Curl up in a comfy chair in front of a roaring fire and feel a lot better very soon!. The effect should last for a couple of hours and brings almost total relief to sore throats and blocked noses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you don't get rid of it quickly, because you can't!. Anyone who tells you different is trying to sell you something or sound more intelligent than they actually are!. It may be tough to absorb, but once a common cold has started in your body there is pretty much no act you can do, or thing you can take which will shorten the course!. There has been some minimal and inconsistent data regarding Zinc Products taken at the very beginning of symptoms-and this only lessened the total duration of the cold by a few hours if the data were even valid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

These are natural remedies, but they do help lessen the severity and shorten the duration of your cold!. And, it will immediately help un-stuff your nose!.

Take a teaspoon of salt and mix it into half a cup of warm water and gargle!. Really gargle well, too!. Tilt your head back until you feel the warm, salt water sink into your sinuses!. It will losen up everything and your nose will run!.!.!. so blow all that stuff out!.!.!.

You also can use Ocean!.!.!. a saline spray you can get at the drugstore!. Squirt it into each nostril and tilt your head sideways!. Blow your nose!. Repeat until you feel clear!.

Try zinc throat lozenges!.

Drink Echinacea tea!. I found a great brand called Traditional Medicinals!. There tea is awesome and it works great at helping to stimulate your immune system!. Buy the Echinacea or Echinacea Plus tea!. Steep it for 15 minutes in hot water for best results!. Add honey to taste!.

Take vitamin C!.

Rest, rest, rest!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
