    Warm olive oil is good to pour in your ear for ear aches, apparently. If you don't have olive oil, you can use urine! That's what my aunt tried to get me to do once.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Vicks VapoRub is MAGIC. That stuff saves me every time I get sick. Plus, Halls Honey Lemon cough drops are wonderful. Without them I would probably die from coughing and hacking so much. And lots and lots of honey tea is good.

    A shot of quicksilver will do the trick. If you don't live in Mississippi, then 200 proof Vodka is the next best thing.

    Hmmm I got my tonsils removed last winter...ahh no more sore throats for me! But I agree tea and honey is awesome and also sleep is always a welcomed solution to any problem!

    As follows:

    1 Lemsip (the drink form not the tablets)
    A bit of honey
    Loads of whiskey or brandy, depending on your preference

    Mix together in a mug and enjoy. Been having this remedy since I was a kid and it works wonders, especially if your having trouble sleeping when your ill.

    Men don't get common flu. We always get the possibly fatal Man Flu, that's like having period pains on your sinuses. Duh.

    Milk & honey.

    Edit: for trouble sleeping, as yumi says, a bit of tipple can do wonders.

    A special home remedy It's a liquid diet, you drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and your body strong, hot green tea to kill all the bacteria and two shots of whiskey in the morning and two more before you go to bed, in order to burn away everything else. Guaranteed to cure you of any cold...

    I use Vicks Vaporub and sleep all day. Nicitran or whatever works wonders. I chew garlic periodically if I have a cold or congestion, and if your nose is plugged hardxcore, boil some water and but teatree oil in it, then put a towel your head and inhail the steam.




    Don't put your face too close to the water though

    Sometime's a good ol' bake up can do the trick!

    Sometimes it just makes it worse, though.
