Now , at 20 I had an awesome remedy and I still stand by the fact I never had a sick day and recovered far quicker than others , but maybe don't try this at home...

So the original cold tablets with Pseudo , if the night dose was 2 , I'd take 4 , 3 x solid nips of whiskey with diet coke , put on 2 tracksuits and a beanie , extra doona on bed , literally pass out , awaken in the morning in a pile of sweat , super hot shower , a little twithy coz of the Pseudo in the tablets , but have sweated out so much..

Normally , after work 2 nights of this = I'm feeling pretty dam good.

Not sure I'd live though it now 55555555 .

Therapy Flu. It's the best!

You hear up one cup of water and then once the water is hot and the packet of the lemon flavored ingredients into the nice warm cup and keep stirring it up otherwise all the good stuff sinks to the bottom and it won't taste good.

I used to make it for people at work who came to work sick with a cold or flu and they all said that it really made them feel better.

It's the only remedy that I have found that allows you to feel so much better that you can finish your work and not have to suffer or go home and get to bed.

It’s more of a preventative measure rather than a remedy. As a remedy, this is already too late although it can help you recover in a couple of weeks.

What you need to do is have vitamin C rich foods as part of your daily diet. Oranges and mandarins are great sources. Smash in a few mandarins or oranges daily and you’ll get through the winter without catching the bug. It has worked for me for years. I haven’t been sick in I can’t even remember how long but it’s years. Over a decade easy. I didn’t get covid either. However, it should be noted that I did take the deadly vaccine. 3 of them in fact.

If you do find yourself with a cold, all you can do is ride it out. Shit loads of lemsips, cough drops, paracetamol, Codral pills etc. There isn’t really a silver bullet for it unfortunately.

Hard to know if you’re taking about preventing being ‘cold’ 🥶, or dealing with the ‘common cold’ 🦠.

I will take a punt at the latter as the first seems a little too obvious 😆

No ‘cold’ is ever the same , if it was we wouldn’t be having to suffer it over and over again. It’s a virus , it changes from host to host as it mutates.

I don’t believe in any of the over the counter cold remedies , dependent on the symptoms I normally just carry on regardless , drinking plenty of fluids , resting where possible and distance myself from those where possible to stop it spreading.

That all being said , prevention is better than the cure , if the pandemic has taught us anything it’s that hand washing and social distancing reduces your risk massively.

I've used recipes similar to this. You can add fennel seeds too if you'd like. Feel better!

Bricealan · Answer

if you take pills? The cold will be over in seven days. If you don’t do anything, it will last a week😂😂😂😂

AviatorTom · Answer

When I feel a cold coming on, I take vitamin C, more than the RDA. It doesn't prevent the cold, it makes it easier to live with.

Staximus · Answer

It's not "never fail" but it's worked plenty of times. Right when you feel the very first funny feeling and think you're going to get a cold or flu, drink a shitload of whiskey

Having the patience to wait till it's over... ;0)

nawtee_me · Answer

My job puts me in harms way when it comes to colds and flu. I try to take airborn or zicam. They shorten the recovery time if taken early enough.

ohsheeT · Answer

If I feel cold coming on I bought two bare aspirin and I will either drink warm lemon water or something with lemon in it because your virus is going to start in your nose or your mouth and the lemon will clean it all the way down
