Any hints on getting rid of a cold fast?!
Question: Any hints on getting rid of a cold fast.?
Just interested to know if any of you out there have any hints and tips to get rid of a cold fast or even just to reduce the symptoms (irritated nose/sinuses, sore throat and headache). I've used menthol stuff and paracetamol.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Well for me one of the symptoms of cold was that i felt my sore iritating me, just a lil... One of the best medicines i took and recovered paffffff, just like that was Uniflu... Then i tumbled on Coldagesic... The latter will rather make you sleep... well when you have a cold you have to sleep, only during sleep that the body recovers. So prepare to call it a day off..lol... But i don't think coldagesic is available here so go for uniflu + a Vitamin C soluble (btw lack of vitamin C causes anaemia and flu...so better grab oranges and kiwis...) + drink honey and lemon in luke warm water.... Sore throat, well I don't know because there are various medicines adapted to different people but try something which is concerned with harsh sore throats, i went for mild but took days... you get sore throat because of bacteria... so saltwater in warm water gurgle...or a something you can get otc or in drugstores... running nose and headache... well have some rest, keep warm, sleep as much as you can... oh yeah have sore throat pills... i am not keen about strepcils but can't remember the name... anyway so...
1) Uniflu
2) Vitamin C
3) Sorethroat capsules
4) Sorethroat spray (works better, best with capsules)
5) Gurgle stuff/honey lemon (optional..but...)
6) REST and keep warm..
so you asked for rapid recovery ey.? :DHealth Question & Answer

Vigorously rub the palms of hands a few times every hour or so! also the tips of fingers (digital extremities!)! Keep yourself warm: esp. the souls of feet! Keep feet in warm water, saline if you can, for a few minutes, three or four times a day! Try chewing ginger: and take ginger with honey, and warm water sips! All this usually works well, very well!Health Question & Answer
drinks lots of tea. licorice, eucalyptus, peppermint, and/or green tea are probably the best. for the headache, get some roll on anti-headache aromatherapy gel from Bath&BodyWorks. that ALWAYS helps me. get plenty of rest, don't overexert yourself. if you can get your hands on some, get core olive leaf extract. take 15 drops of it (or whatever it says nm the box if in capsule form or mixed with anything else). that will knock whatever you have out of your system.Health Question & Answer
I think, eating as well as possible can help to, and still getting out and about (though sometimes rest is the best thing lol).

Lots and lots of rest. I don't mean just sleep....actually lay your body on the couch or in bed...and rest. Some people think sitting at the computer or something is rest. It's not to the body. No moving...little thinking...just lay there staring at tv for hours keeping nice and warm. Lots of fluids and blow your nose as much as you can (get that bad stuff out of you).
That's about it...no miracle cure...good old R&R.Health Question & Answer

Zycam, but you've got to take it as soon as you start showing signs of a cold to be most effective. Otherwise, I take 3000 mg of Vitamin C, 3 times a day to minimize the effects.Health Question & Answer
Get as much rest as you can. A cold will generally run it's course within seven days. All those drugs only hide the symptoms, not get rid of the cold. Just ride t out.Health Question & Answer
