Drink Lots of fluids and hang in there. Getting rid of a cold is the same as recovering from any ailment. For example, I had surgery yesterday. Fluids, fluids, fluids. A dehydrated body is an unhealthy body. The liquids also make you pee, which gets rid of infection throughout your body. So drink lots of water and juice and hang in there!! Get well soon!!

Let me know because I've been fighting one.



Here's what happened for me when I truly work to get rid of it. One, get some rest. This is a way of your body telling you to slow down.



Second, drink plenty of fluids; water is best.



Third, there are a number of cold medicines to relieve symptoms. Determine which one is best for you.



I like to take vitamins and herbs especially echinacea. This herb helps build the immune system. You only want to take it when you are sick. Vitamin C helps too.

wow, i wish you included some of your symptoms. for the sake of conversation, i will assume they are as follows:

-sore throat

-fever

-that head-under-water feeling

-full-body skin and/or muscle ache



TREATMENT-- 1. get rest! 2. drink nice fluids that contain vitamins, like juice and hot broth. 3. ginger and tobasco! both tend to send those little bacteria in your sore throat running for the hills! (and ginger can almost instantaneously rid you of nausea.) 4. chicken soup contains nice chemicals that can soothe you, also being quite easy to digest for the sensitive stomach. 5. take a hot bath, making sure to add eucalyptus oil to soothe your air passageways. 6. i know i said it, but... GET SOME SLEEEEEEEEEP! get offline and go to bed! now! heh



DO NOT TAKE ECHINACEA!! (did i spell that right?) do not take it when you're already sick. okay, here's the d&l on echinacea.. it boosts your immune system for only a little time, then can overwork it and thus DECREASES YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO FIGHT OFF INVADERS!!! if you're already sick, it's too late to take it. also, if your cold lasts more than a few days, all-told, as they are prone to do, you will end up weakening your system, as i've just said, and cause a POSSIBLE RELAPSE!

Colds are very hard to get rid of.If you can stand hot stuff a tablespoon of pepper sauce does the trick for me.I know that sounds wierd but it works.I eat hot peppers all the time so I don,t get sick very often.whenever I feel a cold coming on I take a shot of peppersauce.It does the trick for me.good luck.Ihope you feel better soon.
