My cure is a hot cup of thera flue about a hour before bed, then a shot of Nyquil at bed time with a extra blanket to make me sweat, It seems to work for me if I do that at first systems, usualy feel way better the next morning.
Hot Brandy and honey was Dad's antidote.
Apple Cider Vinegar (with the Mother)
O.D. on NyQuil then a hot shower (as hot as I can stand) then to bed with sweatpants, sweatshirts, and socks on. 1 or 2 nights later, the cold is sweated out if your body.
Did a combination of many of the suggested remedies last night. Except the castor oil and enema. Hot coffee with honey, a double shot of Niquil, some airborne, extra blankets, and sitting upright in the bed. Pretty good this morning except for some stuffy nose crap, but I can power through that. At least my hair and teeth don't ache anymore. MAN I hate that!!! On with Monday..............
I can't drink the liquid NyQuil, it's icky!
KDM, do you think you have a "common" cold or the flu virus?
One time I had bad diarrhea, was very weak but managed to crawl to the toilet, passed out while sitting on the throne. While out, I apparently vomited, when I came too, I called for Mrs. Sluggo….she took one look, threw me a couple towels and walked away.
Coughing so bad and so long that you have to hug a pillow to keep your lungs and ribs in your body.
