I've come down with a cold.

Astronomia · 12-31-2015, 04:57 PM

I've been up all week with this nasty cold that keeps my nose filled, and a throat so sore it feels like I'm swallowing my own stomach acid.

I've been looking up remedies, but I want to make sure I can get all of any type of suggestions, that's why I'm here.

What do you guys recommend for a cold?

and please be truthful/respectful. Don't post anything like drinking alcohol, or "gtfo out of your computer and go outside".

Hot bowl of water and towel over your head always works for me.

Never heard of that before. I'll try it when I have the time. Thanks for the advice.

Sleep, just loads of sleep

I usually just drown myself in Nyquil and sleep. I really don't have any good ways to get better because I rarely get sick and when I do, it's only for a very short time. But I guess rest, take medicine and keep the liquids to you.

I am guessing you're right. I'm gonna get off the computer for a little now, probably just watch some TV and rest. It's the best I can do and I will use @Paradigm idea because that sounds unique and relaxing. And by liquids, I will just drink orange juice. Lol. Thanks though for the tips.

Ye and water, or even apple juice. Apple juice is what I drink when I'm sick.

It clears your sinuses, it helps if you put some olbas oil in there as well.

Oh yea or you can make steam by like boiling water for a good ole cup of tea and inhale the steam through your nose, it helps clear your nose, but don't be stupid and like inhale the steam right where it boils, use your hand to see if it's like super boiling hot.

Drink water and take some medicine is the best thing I can offer. I went out and bought some NyQuil and DayQuil and I just drown myself in that shit.

I've come down with a cold.
