Well GAGERS... What do you do when you have a cold?

[Anonymous]

I have a cold right now... And it sucks. I was just wondering what you do to feel better?

First I make chicken soup all home made, I try to keep one cup, plate, fork, spoon, towel, blanket, pillow or whatever to myself. I don't want to get anyone else sick, then I take a nice warm bath or shower at night. Usually I do this on my first or second day, I also make teas to help me out. My last resort is medicine I always try to avoid it because it helps one thing out and messes up something else in your body over time. I don't want my body to get used to medicine to cures itself instead of natural remedies. I drink lots of liquids, healthier food, nothing with fat, oil, sugar or anything processed. If the foods you make (even healthy food) have sugar, fat and oil I try to get rid of most of it and keep it to a minimum. Rest is my best medicine of all I try not to get myself too tired so the first few days I make my soup, teas and other remedies incase I need it later in the week.

Drink plenty of water... More than nomal to keep things moving. I try to keep eating but goto spicy foods with ginger or red pepper and garlic. It clears my throat and opens my nose. Teas and warm soups help some too.
Im just ending a cold now. Drinking at least one glass of water each our im up seem to help me avoid a cold going to an infection also. See what helps and build your personal list.

Drink fresh squeezed lemon juice mixed with 100% pure honey and salt. Keep drinking it every few hours or so and get some good sleep until you feel better.

Drink tons of hot tea and stay in bed all day or put on warm clothing and run around the house with a blanket. It usually only lasts a day or two. If it's particularly bad, I do steam inhalation.

I drink lots of Orange Juice and cover myself in warm covers to sweat.
