What to do when you got a bad cold?

[RayeR]

Well, I just sleep it off or drink medicine.
Sleeping it off is the best way to go.

I hope that I don't got the swine flu, because some of the symptom's is not there at all. I'm not feeling that sick yet. :P

Well, I think it would be better if you HAD the swine flu...

Anyway, I agree with the suggestions here, soup, lots of water (and tea), rice, crackers and lots of fruits, mostly oranges. If you end up taking antibiotics make sure to take them FOR A WHOLE WEEK and follow the instructions closely. Make sure you do that, it's very important. If you start taking antibiotics then you should absolutely take them for a whole week even if you might be feeling better before that. If not, it is very dangerous for the virus to evolve, resist the antibiotic and you'll end up in the hospital! So be careful of that okay!

Hope you get well fast!

Thanks..

Right now I only got a bad cough and it's hard for people to hear what I'm saying. I've almost lost my voice.

When I get a cold I insist that I'm dying of the plague and stay in bed all day.
I'm a bit of a drama queen when it comes to illness.

There is one sure fire, always works cold cure.

First- You must travel to Kokomo Indiana and receive fine beach sand....

Second- Buy a gallon of milk. 2% or D.

Third- You must collect two ounces of John Maddens sweat.

Forth- Light a fire on top of Mt. Everest.

Fifth- Slide down the mountain using the dead body of Michael Jackson.
(repeat step if you enjoy it)

Sixth- Find my keys.

Seventh- Find and kill a unicorn with a spit wad.

Eighth- Hug a hungry grizzly bear.

Ninth- (if you survived 8) Figure out how many licks to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

Tenth- Jump out of a perfectly good airplane with Richard Simmons as your parachute.

Eleventh- Kill your parachute.

Twelfth- If you do not feel better, go to next step.

Thirteenth- Take all the items you have gained through your journey and jump off a cliff.


See Don't you feel better now.

Well, putting that aside you should always watch out for high fever, take some aspirins if necessary, take some of those candies that help you with your sore throat and if your nose really bothers you take some Otrivin or something similar (do NOT overuse this though, use it only if your nose becomes really bothersome). Other than that... well, if it gets real bad then you should go to a hospital... look out for that swine flu too, even though if you caught it you would be really lucky!!!

I think the aspirin bottle said not to take if you have flue symptoms

AF, I will share with you my secret to colds and flus.
I'm currently in a sick free stretch of 2.5 years, since a horrible month and a half long super cold.
My formula consists of 3 elements, and though they work wonders they're better as a preventative measure rather than a cure all. So if you feel the symptoms of a cold coming on, you chug down these 3 things:

fresh garlic (cooked or otherwise, no powdered sh*t)
ginger
citrus fruits (oranges/lemons/limes/grapefruit)

garlic is an immune booster, as is ginger. ginger is considered a super food by most, because of it's curative properties. good for stomach aches and sea sickness apparently.
The citrus is just for vitamin C. This would work as it does me since you've got no vitamins in the house.

there's plenty of stuff to do with these ingredients. the only tricky one for me was ginger, but it works well in currys and asian food. also if you want something super tasty and amazing, make ginger/lemon tea. just cut a slice of lemon and 7-8 thin slices of ginger and pour boiling water on top. I drink it all winter long for it's yumminess, and in the summer I make a jug and put it in the fridge. so refreshing.
otherwise eat foods with garlic (garlic bread, galicky pasta, creamy veg soups, curry) and have an orange every now and again.

You don't have to do it every day, but it has the power to grow on you. Just do it whenever you're sick or feel like you're getting sick and your immune system will jump into super mode.
