rub orange juice on your balls then wank for an hour. works a treat. you have to keep re-applying the OJ as it dried, of course.

Straight to bed, stay under covers regardless of how hot it gets, drink hot tea, call in sick and watch tv shows all day long

Keep fluids up and take paracetamol at the dosage intervals. I also take decongestants to keep my throat and nose clear.

Once it takes hold, then theres nothing you can do about it.

That stuff you spray up your nose works but you taste it at the back of your mouth afterwards...

I'd imagine alcohol helps but w/o enough liquids and vit c it will just make the problem worse by dehydrating you

Best way to get rid of a cold is force it out of your system via sweating, wrap up in thick clothes and get under a big duvet, do it everytime I get a cold and its not failed me yet.

Interesting - thats how childrens immune systems tackle viruses - they get feverishly hot in order to try killing the virus that way.

Adults obviously rely more on the white blood cells - maybe by combining both you become a super immune system ?

If I feel something starting usually use a multivitamin tablet each day, with the correct dosage of nerofen if a headache occurs and drink tons of water, seems to help alot.

Cold & Flu tablets before you sleep and let your immune system do the work.

I disagree with this and all the man up comments tbh.

Why suffer a week being sick needlessly and ignoring it also leads to a chance of just getting reinfected straight away again.

I didn't catch it myself some other gimp brought it into the house as bloody always

I've tried this beating a cold early stuff, all that seems to happen is you feel better for a couple of days then the cold comes back, and last forever.

Better off getting it out (of your nose :p ) early on :)

Or, get a better immune system and don't get so many bloody colds.

TEEDS.
