GogglesnTeeth 6 #2 October 6, 2006 I've always been a huge fan of Tequilla and Orange Juice to get over colds. A couple glasses and you are out like a light. Same effect as Niquill for me, but much more tastyGoggles and Teeth "You fall like a greased safe!!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #3 October 6, 2006 If you take all the magical pills and herbs, you'll be over the cold in seven days. Don't take them, and it'll be over in a week. That said, hot tea with some honey and lemon always makes me feel marginally better. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

sartre 0 #4 October 6, 2006 Mucinex if you have a cough at all or any phlegm (yuck). It works great and if you keep taking it til everything's clear, you'll be amazed at how fast it works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsey 0 #5 October 6, 2006 If you have someone who'll prescribe you Pancof syrup, it won't matter if it takes 7 days or a week for the cold to go away. You'll feel much better. Of course if you don't have a really good relationship with the prescriber, he'll think you're "seeking." linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

beufus 0 #9 October 6, 2006 It's probably just mental, but when I don't feel well, I drink green tea with some honey. For some reason it makes me feel a little better. Smoking is a combination test for intelligence and resistance to marketing/peer pressure. All smokers have failed at least one of these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #10 October 7, 2006 Comtrex works great for me. Also vitamin C and Echinacea are good to boost the immune system.If you dont feel like taking lots of pills drink OJ for the vitamin C. "...just an earthbound misfit, I." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #11 October 7, 2006 Zicam oral mist claims to reduce the severity and length of the common cold. It does seem to work. I've used it a couple times and my kids have also. Hard to know what would have happened otherwise, but I'd say it does work.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #12 October 7, 2006 Mucinex for the cough and chest congestion (the green bottle, not the blue one). Helped me so much when I was sick a few months back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
