Answers:
Do a mixture of honey, lemon, hot water and Cayenne pepper. All this is done to taste but goes something like this when I am making it: Pour honey at the bottom of your cup (1/4 inch), squeeze lemon (1/2-1 whole) on top of that, pour hot water in and mix up really good, then sprinkle in your Cayenne pepper...now, not only does this taste good, it is pretty effective with colds. The honey helps the whole thing go down and is healthy for you, the lemon also has a bit of medicinal value as well. The hot water cuz drinking hot stuff when you have a cold is great but the Cayenne is the real kicker. Cayenne will kick your cold in it's rear by killing the germs...Health Question & Answer

A common cold, also known as acute coryza, is an inflammation of the upper respiratory tract caused by infection with common cold viruses. A common cold occurs more often than any other disease - hence, its name. A person may suffer from a common fold several times in a year. A cold usually lasts from three to ten days. The patient feels miserable for the first three days or so.

I make sure to drink lots of water, and I also take a few Pycnogenol capsules. Pycnogenol is an antioxidant (like Vitamin C), and it seems to help prevent a runny nose or sore throat if I take it as soon as I start getting symptoms.

Chicken soup is always good too (especially on cold winter days).Health Question & Answer
