Colds are caused by virus. There is absolutely nothing you can do to recover quickly. You may reduce the symptoms but the biological effects will have to depend on your body's defenses. Rest, Good diet, even temperature and no stress will go a long way to help your body to fight the virus.

hot lemonade and honey

I woke up today with a sore throat. I went to Rite Aide to get Theruflu thin strips daytime and nighttime. I took one and it's helped me today.

Paracetamol etc. Take every time you're aloud, I think its about every 4 hours.

Steam yourself. Boil water in a kettle, pour into a bowl and stick your head above it in the steam, whilst holding a towel over your head, trapping the steam. This should help clear your air waves and help with your nose. Do this till it stops steaming, atleast 15 mins

Keep drinking water, sqaush drinks or health drinks such as lucazade.

Use vic vapour rub if you have it for your nose and make sure to use a hankey (or pair of pants!) to wipe your nose otherwise your'll get a horrible red sore/dry patch under your nose from using tissues all the time

Medical advice Panadol CF tablet is the best to give u cure. You take this pill and sleep, i hope you will be ok with one pill. If u dont be okay, take another pill. if u dont get this tablet, ask for any anti allergy tablet and two ponston or paracetamol tablets at one time. If u dont want to take pills then you should take hot water and put some salt in it and put this water in your mouth and take it to your throat and bring it back. Do this exercise atleast 4-5 times. One more thing, buy Vicks vapourub cream and rub at your neck and put little in your nose. It will keep your nose clear. Thanks bye

Take Daynurse and drink hot water and honey Works a treat!

I had the same this morning. There is no cure for a cold but you can relieve the symptoms. Take Lemsip at night so that you sleep well as this aids the recovery. Walk out in fresh air and drink plenty of water.
Sorry but try to have a happy Christmas.

Echina-fizz, from Holland and Barret. Absolutly magic!!

You can,t cure a cold but Echinacea helps to fight it and I have always found it cuts recovery time by a few days.Good luck.

try air Born

If you get it early enough First Defence might stop it developing into a full cold. Get down to the chemist if there is one still open and get some. It costs about
