IM SICK AND I NEED HELP!!!?!
Question: IM SICK AND I NEED HELP!!!.?
Yesterday I started to feel like I was getting a cold, well I was right! My throat was a little sore and i have a slight cough with some gross mucous. When I cough it hurts so I have been trying to cough lightly. My nose is pretty stuffy and the mucous is mainly clear with some slightly more green/yellow. I feel very congested. I don't like to take medicine and I try to avoid it at all costs. And I really don't like going to the doctor either. So my question is what are some natural ways or home remedies to get rid of a cold.? Or atleast help my body do the job.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Lots and lots of rest...drink lots of fluids to keep yourself hydrated. Something like G2 would be good. also, vitamin C would help. Maybe drink something high is Vitamin C...I would suggest orange juice. Unless your stomach is upset...that would probably make it worse. Run a vaporizer (warm moist heat) in the room that your in. Make it so humid in that room that the condensation nearly runs off the windows. Or put a towel over your head, and over the vaporizor so that you breath alot of that steam in. This will help break up the mucos in your chest. and maybe help open your nose...Use vicks on your chest, will help open your nose and loosen the phlem in your chest. Good luck!!Health Question & Answer
check this out, they have saline that is a spray, it blasts away the junk in your nose, Orange juice, Lots of water to wash down the gross stuff you cough up and blow your nose alot. I can not take over the counter meds like everyone else so this is what i do. to much sleeps not gonna help because when you lay down the mucus settles and then you start coughing every time you move, sleep on an incline. lots of pillows.Health Question & Answer
Before you go to bed at night, rub Vicks Vapor Rub on you chest, that will help you nose & throat feel better.I(t is normal for your nose to run for a few minutes). Put it on your feet to, That will help you to not cough as much. They also have these Vicks vaporizers that you put in the shower floor when you shower it will help you to not be so congested. Now I know this sounds babyish but, rub it allover a small blanket and cuddle it close to your face!!! It sounds weird I know.

If it's your throat that hurts when you cough and not your chest, then I find my mum's honey and lemon drink an ideal soother.
get some boiling water, I use about a litre. Add a tablespoon of honey, and the juice from 1 lemon. Then add sugar to taste. Sieve the bits of lemon out if you don't like them. Then let it cool before you glug it. 1 litre does me about 2 days usually, I only have a few sips when my cough starts to hurt.
Other than that, follow what the others have said. Plenty of warmth, rest, and vitamin C. (Well all vitamins really!)Health Question & Answer
