The Common Cold

I'm starting to get a cold:( does anyone have any good family secrets or anything like that to keep the cold away?

Soup :bigsmile:

Or, y'know, get off the internet and get some rest.

Odd...I just got over a cold....

Drink an entire bottle of NyQuil and when you wake up the week after falling asleep, you'll feel fine. ^_^

(this is a terrible idea, please don't overdose)

Honestly, I just hop myself up on decongestants and muscle through it.

Vitamin C will help.

Chewable orange flavoured vitamin C tablets are now your candy. Gorge on them.

Yes, but those chewables usually taste like candy, especially the old-school Flintstones ones.

They aren't disgusting, I assure you. Or at least the ones I had last winter weren't. But hey, orange juice works too.

I looked through my new Flintstone Chewables and ORANGE IS GONE. ;________; I dunno if its because I got the special iron one because now that I'm not eating meat anymore, I need iron, but the oranges were like candy. Maybe they took them out because they were TOO good. :(

I usually take Motrin and sometimes some Tylenol.

your body can't absorb more than 1000 mg of vitamin c in a day...so two of those tablets are pretty much where it ends....and by the time the elevated C content in your body begins to actually strengthen your immune system, the cold is probably gone anyway...

but placebos rule anyway!! eat the things and drink sunny D till you get better

Orange juice works. It's preferred if it's 100% natural so you get all the vitamin C. Or even better eat an orange. Not only do you get a good supply of vitamin C but you'll also get some fibre out of it.

If you want to make sure you don't get a stuffy nose avoid facing down because that makes your mucus rush towards your nose.
