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.

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.
hot chicks and lots of em.....STAT....hahahahahahaahhaahahhahahahaQuote:

Seriously, a good way to stop coughing and runny noses for at least 20 minutes is to gargle salt in water a couple of times. Repeat for full enjoyment!
soup, hot tea or honey! :D
looks like were in the same boat buddy! I just got a cold today aswell, and I feel like hell. I took some Tylonal, but it doesn't seem to be working, well atleast my eyes have stopped watering and arn't red anymore. Best medicine I heard was to stay active, apparently it's been proven that it's a better way to get rid of it faster! But my suggestion is to just come on to this forum and ramble on about things, annoying people! XD
A nice hot cup of tea (chamomile works particularly well) or honey and lemon juice in hot water.
*ACHOOOO!* Well, the Vitamn C didn't work I'm sick! But I'm starting to feel better. I'm on the computer cause when I stopped focusing on something (I was studying for a test) I got a fever. Hopefully I'll be back in school by tommorow. *ACHOOOOO!*
