+1 yI personally eat a raw clove of garlic then drink hot ginger lemon tea with real honey, and then take a hot shower, then proceed to try to sweat it out with as many layer of clothes as I can under a blanket. And if my throat starts itching while I'm in bed, I take a spoon of pepper sauce. The spice actually surprisingly breaks down mucous and helps me breathe.

Drink plenty of water. Rest on the bed or couch (watch a movie or play video games) don't exercise until the cold has passed completely (you're body needs the energy to fight the cold) have warm noodle soup, take medication, eat plenty of fruit and veggies. Unfortunately pain in the butt and just have to ride it out.

Thanks 🙂
I mostly try to sleep, or take really hot showers so that the steam clears out my sinuses. I also eat lots of jalapeño chips, for the same reason. If I can't sleep I try to read something. I try to avoid screens, because whenever I get a cold I get a massive headache, and screens can make that a lot worse.

Vitamin K2 is usually recommended along side it (not to be confused with vitamin K).
- +1 y
I didn't know that
- +1 y
Vitamin D3 supplements increase calcium absorption. Vitamin K2 keeps the calcium in the right locations. Without this, the calcium can end up in soft tissue such as arteries and / or blood vessells causing serious problems. Our body is supposed to make vitamin K2, but not if we don't eat enough fermented foods.
If a Doctor recommends D3 but does not mention magnesium (regulates calcium and activates D3) and K2 then he's potentially making your health worse... - +1 y

Where did you hear about Mucinex? that sounds like it has a similar benefit of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). But N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) will benefit the entire body. If you want to learn more, read this:

Check this out:
niapurenaturecom.wordpress.com/.../
''In one such study,4 the number needed to treat (NNT) was 0.5, which means for every two people treated with NAC, one will be protected against symptomatic influenza. That’s significantly better than influenza vaccines, which have an NNV (number needed to vaccinate) of 71,5 meaning 71 people must be vaccinated to prevent a single case of confirmed influenza. It’s even better than vitamin D, which has an NNT of 33.6''
I don't know if things have changed since then, but it's interesting information nonetheless.. and it's a very cheap, safe and easy to use supplement. - +1 y

Amazon. com already stopped selling NAC supplements but Ebay still sells them.
Yes I heard about zinc, but if I remember correctly it's not very well absorbed without an ionophore alongside it. Quercetin is one such ionophore:

Starve a cold, feed a fever.
Another thing I just remembered yesterday:the cold germs can only live in a certain temperature, that's why your forehead heats up when you get one, it's trying to kill those germs. A good way to help it along is to get one of those hand-held hair dryers and shoot it up your nose for a while (just make sure it's not one that has an asbestos lining) or, get a pot of water, heat it up and inhale the steam coming from it through your nose.
Drink lots of hot tea, too. Stay warm, take two asprin and call me in the morning. Don't talk with your mouth full, don't fidget when I talk to you and stop tracking mud across my nice clean kitchen floor!! - +1 y
Yeah I'm feeling much better still stuffy nose not otherwise feeling better
- +1 y
I kinda had one the past two days, too. I thought that pill took care of it but I had signs yesterday that it didn't: sneezing for no reason, a very slight burning feeling in my throat, a bit of a wheeze when I first woke up, later in the evening, I was trying to snort snot out of my nose and it felt like it went into my left ear, sleepiness when I've only been up a few hours, a warm forehead. Right now, I have none of that except the extremely faint acid-like burning in the back of my throat and MAYBE a touch of a warm forehead.
Maybe it's got something to do with a great lack of sex! With us guys, if we don't get fucked on a regular basis, the sperm builds up in our balls and, when there's too much, the excess gets confused, goes to out head and becomes snot! - +1 y

Cool!! I hope I am, too.
If necessary I go to the doctor or appointment with my pharmacy. And usually get cold or flu medicine. And I try to avoid outdoor cold weather until I am better. Home shopping work from home. And then I'm good as new again. Winter yes can be a nuisance but oh well. Thats just the usual seasons.
