    Hot Toddies!!!
    - 1.5-2 shots of whiskey
    - Tablespoon of honey
    - 1/2 cup hot water
    - fresh lemon slice (or like a tsp. of lemon juice that comes in the plastic lemon shaped bottle)

    Microwave the whiskey and water with the honey for as long as it takes to be almost at a boil; you want it to be steaming hot.
    Squeeze in the lemon (or add the lemon juice), leave the rest of the slice in the cup.

    Get as much sleep as much as you can, the whiskey definitely helps with that, stay hydrated with water otherwise and I guarantee you'll feel better tomorrow!

      no luck on humidifier. It usually happens the beginning of each season think it may be allergies?

    Firewater otherwise known as Whiskey , drink some before you go to bed and sleep all the way under the covers completely covered that combined with the fact that the Whiskey will heat up your body and you'll already be hot under the covers will make you sweat like a pig but that's a good thing, and the cold be burned/sweated out of you basically, just no matter how hot you get don't get out from under the covers.

    Other then that hot tea, water, soup and sleep is what will help you.

    Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water. Eat some chicken noodle soup or something. The warm fluid will help clear out all the mucus and stuff which will clear your airways a bit. Stay away from the cold. Stay away from caffeine because it dehydrates you. Most important thing: Get plenty of rest. If you don't have to be out of bed, then get back in bed.

    I've used a few of these depending on how bad it is, but try them out. I always try to stay away from over the counter meds

      Orange juice is usually loaded with sugar. Instead, I recommend:

      @Smmyskittles, how can I forget about Emergen-C! I use it too when I have a cold!

      However, I use Zicam when I start to get a cold. It usually makes it go away but it leaves a nasty after taste :p
