I have a cold
 

Yeah...always did the Dayquil and Nyquil thing, but looking for a better remedy.


What do you all do to feel good and get rid of colds quickly?

Re: I have a cold
 

start supplementing with Vitamin C.

Some ppl take vitamin C year round, but that's a waste of time. It won't prevent colds, but it will help you get better faster.

oh and I think Zinc helps as well.

sweat/working out, a nice steam room, then a ton of nyquil and sleep.

Re: I have a cold
 

You can minimize the symptoms with Alka Seltzer cold medicine (always works great for me), Tylenol cold... But you really cannot get better faster. It has to run its course.
I hope you feel better.

Me too!
But... the best way to shorten and reduce the symptoms is by using some natural immune boosters.
Echinacea/Goldenseal & Zinc lozengers or Zicam - all available from drug store - take a bunch... in 3 days all better :-) (colds usually last up to 9 days!!!)
Nyquil etc.. good as a 'bandaid' for symptoms - but won't help heal faster like the herbals.
be well... sniff.

Jack Daniel's works great.

oh, and be careful with zinc, that stuff has made me throw up like nothing else

Oh yeah... be sure to have a full tummy before sucking on the zinc tabs... but they really work.

Plop-plop fizz-fizz cold medicine for sure. Too bad it tastes like crap. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] But that [censored] works miracles.

Am I the only person that actually likes the taste of Alka-Seltzer?
