Ever notice how much advice you get when you have a cold? What works/what doesn't...so what's your cure for the common cold? I have 10 days to get back to good before I'm Hawaii bound...so spill it!

In ten days, it will have run it's course anyway.

Best thing I have found to do is just get in some flannel jammies, get under as many blankets as you have, down some Nyquil, and sweat it out of your system.

I eat spicy stuff like salsa,mexican food.There are some new things that you put in the shower that help you.I've always taken the nyquil capsules and tried to sleep as much as possible not sure if any of this will work but maybeflowerforyou

yeah Tina I've heard of those shower things...I think they stole the idea from me because for as long as I can remember I have indulged in a nice steamy shower and cough drop routine to clear my sinuses. I've been drinking a TON of water...and when I'm not drinking water I'm drinking hot tea...with honey...taking extra vitamins...I have a Mucinex/NyQuil/Aleve cold and sinus schedule but I'm afraid it will turn into bronchitis like everyone else!

question...should I work out or not? I thought maybe it would help me sweat it out but I'm not sure if it's too strenuous?

Make sure you're eating well too. I know I don't have much of an appetite when I'm sick but you really need it to keep your immune system up.

Smoking cigs has always helped me.*

*Do not, I repeat DO NOT take FearandLoathings advice as a medically sound cure...for that it is not.

yeah my appetite doesn't diminish for anything. I've been eating a lot of soup...and I had a chicken caesar salad for dinner...I'm hoping I'm past the worst of it and I'm off the next two days....I fully intend to sleep sleep sleep.

Have lots of sex, and eat lots of raw fruits and vegetables, and have lots of sex, and eat and drink things with lots of vitamins, and have lots of sex, and it will work together to flush your system full of good things and wash away the bad things.

It's a system.

Keep the system going, year round, and you might never need to ask for a cold cure again.
