Answers:
Same here.
I feel your pain! I also have a horrible bad cold and a sore throat! But what I am so thankful and happy about is that I am getting better! I will probably be better maybe on Sunday, possibly Monday, around that time. So far this is maybe my 3rd or 4th day with the cold, and I am getting better, and colds usually last 3-5 days.

Medicine=NO
I didn't take any medicine at all. Except for maybe my second day with the cold, when I seriously couldn't breath out of whole nose. I put in some of that liquid stuff you sniff up in your nose, but it didn't help; it just made my nose burn and a lot of wet nose discharge stuff came. So I think medicine doesn't work. I also heard a little while ago in some cases medicine makes your condition worse and helps spread the virus or something like that.

What I am doing:
So what I did is basically what everyone has heard and is tired of hearing. Enough sleep, (depends on your age, but it should be at least 8 hours) a lot of water and juice like orange juice for vitamin c (which is VERY, VERY good for you) and staying warm. I am getting better by doing these things. So if you do all these things I really think you will be better before Christmas! Like I said it takes 3-5 days to get better.
Alright that's about it. Hope we both get better. Happy Holidays :)Health Question & Answer

Unfortunately, time is the only thing that gets rid of a cold. And believe it or not, medications only suppress the symptoms, and make it last even longer. (but, there's always a point where you just can't stand it anymore and have to take something).

Having said that, I have found that, for me, drinking lots of water seems to reduce the time I have to endure a cold.Health Question & Answer

Time is in the essence... (I think that's the prase) heh just make sure that water is your constand drink. Like perhaps 16 cups a day... not much more than that but you need to stay filled with water, and rest rest rest rest. You prolly know all this, but I bet you have work getting in the way of rest.? Well you might want to request leave if this cold persists. Ya got'a put this sickness behind you! :) I'm rooting for ya!Health Question & Answer

Well you could try taking medicine,just like Calpol or something like that.
Drink lot's of liquids,because it will flush it out of your system.

Hope you gett better!Merry Christmas!!xxxHealth Question & Answer

well cols usually only last for 3-5 days i think so it should be gone for christmas if u dont go out in the cold, drink lots of fluids and take throat medicine if it keeps hurting.

good luck hope u get better by christmas!Health Question & Answer
