Cure for Common cold

BackyardZoo · 11-15-2005, 04:58 PM

Need to cure my cold by this Sat..

Symptoms:

stuffy and watery nose
soar throat
slight fever
headcahe
stomache ache
( last 2 some times)
sneezing
nose itching

Also, any good home remedies or over counter medicines out there that will work.

I drank tea with honey lipton/ grean tea. But it doesn't seem to be working...

Ugh! sounds like you're having loads of fun. I'm afraid curing a cold just takes time and TLC, along with Nyquil and LOTS of rest and fluids ( juices & water ).
I find Nyquil works pretty good, plus they have the dayquil too ( so you're not

out of it.)

Sometimes a good hot toddy will ease the pain but don't mix with any other meds and go straight to bed!
Just a note , years ago an older meter cop had told me to eat a thick onion sandwich...yuck!, he swore up and down that it worked.
Anyways, take care , hope you feel better soon.

o cure for 14 year old. i hate onions

Shadowkins · 11-15-2005, 05:36 PM

Ooops no toddy for you

Well I'll tell you what I tell my son...take two advil or nyquil and go to bed. Get as much rest as you can and more. If you take care of your body , it will take care of you. Sorry, there just isn't a magic cure for a cold, eat well, drink lots of fluids and, you guessed it , go to bed

My husband swears by Coldeze....I've never tried it myself. It's a lozenge and you take 4 of them a day. It's pretty much like zicam, it's supposed to shorten the duration and severity of a cold. Children over 12 can take it.
I am lucky enough that I rarely get sick. I think it's been about 7 years since I got really sick. I got a small cold in september but I only lost my voice and sneezed a lot. My husband caught the same cold and he got bronchitis.

I moved it to the Global Paw general forum because it was in the wrong one...I think you put it in 'dog behaviour', I can't remember. Anyhoo...it belongs here.
