Cold Remedies
 

ok - i'm suffering through my third cold this year (yuck) and i was wondering what other people take for their colds.

my latest discovery (and this is not an ad) is mucinex. stupid ass commercials but damn it works. my chest has been fairly uncongested since i took it - my throat still hurts and i still feel like crap but my chest is clear

Honestly, I just go nuts with water and orange juice/fresh fruit. Never hangs on more than a day or two.

Can't understand all the crazy stuff people go through...just drink like it's going out of style. I'm a pissing machine whenever I get sick, and it always clears it up in a heartbeat.

Pretty much the same thing but I take a lot of B vitamins and zinc as well (cold-eeze works great).

i've been drinking water and juice but my chest and throat were still killing me. my throat is still really sore and i'm guessing i'll have to go to work tomorrow (skipped today and left early yesterday)

Gargle salt water for your throat.

I used to drink NyQuil till my face melted off. Somewhere around half way through the second bottle I always got the sensation of my face sliding down onto my shirt. Needless to say I never cured a cold this way, in fact I'm sure it only made it worse. Now I stick to the old natural way, tons of juice.

Starve a fever, feed a cold.

hot hot baths help as well. stay in there for an hour soaking up the heat.

Zinc. Lots of Zinc. Zicam works well, I would also take extra zinc in pill form.
