[Mojo]

Lemsip, works for me.

Drink lots of water and maybe have a joint b4 bed if your that way inclined.

/Oh and eat fruit.

 

[Urgluf]

i dont believe there is a cure, only ways to relieve symptoms.

which i would suggest cannabis for. or failing that lots of horlicks.

good stuff

 

[Unleashed]

Soon as i get a cold, i in take about 5 or 6 lemsips in very little time, and that sorts it for me.

Maybe you should brush up on your footie knowledge while you're ill

Also theres no real cure for a cold as theres so many different strains of the virus/bacteria or w/e it is

your lucky you dont get liver failure. lemsips contain paracetamol afaik.

After 15 years of drinking, i think the liver is probably fecked anyway :<

 

[Tombha]

to sooth and help your throat cure faster.. eat lots of ice-cream.. not the milky kind, but the other one..

the difference here is consuming a lot of paracetamol in a short space of time will result in an extremely painful death as your liver fails

Also try mixing honey in a warm drink, green tea works quite well.

Best 'fix'

Losts of water (warmish) or tea, so your body hydrates/dehydrates regulary & Have a blanket around you to keep the body hot, so you sweat it out.

Works.

i always laugh at sweat it out.

do you think the bacteria/virus happily gathers in your sweat glands just waiting for you to overheat?

 

[Chronictank]

sleep,
i usually take Actifet if its bad before bed

Deal with the symptons. Hot water with honey and a slice of lemon works well for sore throats (antiseptic form lemon, honey soothes throat), along with strepsils and water during the night. Use something like Vicks vapourrub during the night to help you breathe. Use paracetamol (possibly in one of the many medicines like beechams, lemsip etc) to help take away paid from throat and vitamin C to help your immune system.

For me, the best thing to relieve the symptoms of a cold was to get a sauna. Always felt a 100 times better after having a sauna.

No, sweating makes you dehydrate which makes you need water. The more water you drink the more chance of getting better there is (or tea) so sweating = leads to more drinking fluids = better.

A bath has the same effect but to a lesser extent, just incase you dont have a sauna upstairs

A good immune system is built up by getting colds and letting your body defeat them, you gonna tell us you've had more colds than everyone here in 16 years and have some kind of super immune system?
