The Best Cure For A Cold

[Wester]

What would you recommend ?

 

[MikeW-71]

Keep warm, plenty of fluids, treat the symptoms and plenty of sleep at night. Just have to wait them out.

There is no cure. As above. Plenty of fluids, nurofen, ibuprofen etc, rest.

 

[musa]

As said no cure. Just eat well drink well and wo/man it out

 

[Dayvo]

MikeW's answer is good.

Rest, keep hydrated and keep warm. And try and get a few minutes of fresh air if possible every now and then.

Same as before.....rest, fluids. There is no cure, but to make things bearable, I swear by my own homemade honey and lemon.
2 teaspoons of Manuka honey (at least 15 strength), some pure lemon juice (Jif or fresh) and hot water.
It is quite sweet so you can add as much lemon as you want to take that away a bit.
Take some Paracetamol but be careful NOT to take a Lemsip type remedy as well, as they contain Paracetamol and you don't want to take too much.

Hygiene - throw away tissues immediately, use hand gel (if you can't get to a sink) and after every 10th gel use, wash your hands thoroughly with hot water and soap

Get well soon!

Yes nurse....

 

[MikeW-71]

Warm ribena or warm lemonade with a generous spoonful of honey stirred in goes down very well too

 

[vickster]

Don't get one in the first place Avoid children, public transport, children and children.
Did I mention children?

 

[MikeW-71]

And avoid working in retail stores.


Oh wait.... sniffle

Drugs- Day/Night Nurse (later knocks you out for a good sleep)

Natural - Munuka Honey + 1 tsp of cinnimon

 

[AndyRM]

My cure is a litre of orange juice followed by a bath as hot as I can stand.

Vitamin warfare and sweat it out.

Works a treat.

 

[tyred]

Whiskey. My dad's cure for all ills.

 

[welsh dragon]

Mr Dragon is also a believer in Southern Comfort, then going to bed and sweating it out. Don't if it works but it ensures he sleeps well enough,

Jack Daniels or Jim Beam.
