Nothing. Colds suck period.
Caldo de Pollo
The "daytime" version of TheraFlu.
My favorite sore throat drink is a 20 oz bottle of water, the juice of a lemon, a couple tablespoons honey, about 6 drops of lemon essential oil, and some ground cloves. The cloves act as a natural painkiller, the lemon helps get the crap off your throat and the honey soothes it as does the oil, while the water obviously keeps you hydrated. I carry this stuff all over the place when I'm sick. Ginger is also really good for your throat if you like drinks with ginger in them.
For congestion, I'm a fan of eating something really y to make the nose run and clean out the sinuses - something like wasabi usually does it.
Yum!!!!!Caldo de Pollo
I like Caldo de Res more, though...
It must be rough to get sick.
Yea with a lot of hot stuff in it...Caldo de Pollo
But not canned chicken soup the real kind with cabbage and veggies.
Oooooooh, I love it with lots of cabbage!!!!!
Wow, thanks for the remedies guys! I'd never even heard of some of them before!
Tomatoes? Who knew they'd treat a sore throat? I'll try that the next time BEFORE I start to get sick
I've never tried Theraflu....Maybe I'll get that today! Actually, I may try out a few of these (well, except that Vick's idea....that's nasty Shoogar!). I'll let you guys know which ones work best
YES! I just found samples of the new Theraflu thin strips in my boss's drawer. I grabbed a handful! The perks of working at a pharmaceutical company..........
I'll let you guys know if it worked. Has anyone tried these new quick dissolving strips? It's weird....
Get a nasal pot. Fill it up with hot salty water, lean over the sink, tilt your head on one side and pour the water in the top nostril. It runs through your sinuses and cleans them out and comes out the bottom nostril and feels really good when you're stuffed up. People always look at me like I'm on crack when I tell them about it, but it's a good non-medicinal treatment.
Zicam, it works really well, especially if you start it as soon as you feel something coming on. If it has already sit in, it will lessen the effects. I use the melts, but they have several different ways to administer it. It is a little on the pricy side, but sometimes you can catch it on sale.
